#MinecraftGlobalMentors Please take to look at this: educommunity.minecraft.net/h…
It seems a vital (no brainer) update to the #MinecraftEdu suite and your support may make the difference!

Hey @MichelleGosling. It was raining cats and dogs in my Y7 Computing class today. Here’s a few of my students trying out the first Coding in #MinecraftEdu lesson. Thought you’d like to know.
Here's a fun little seasonal activity for all the #MinecraftEdu fans out there. Get your students to design one square each and then use \clone to turn their work into an awesomely unique #ChristmasJumper design like this one created by members of @GrainvilleSch Minecraft Club.
A3 I think sometimes, people don’t realize just how good their everyday practice is. I know at least two teachers here in Jersey that were #MIEExperts even before they joined the program for the first time this year. @MichelleGosling @Digital_Shore #MSFTCelt
An onto Q3 for tonight's #MSFTCelt tweetmeet. We would love to know how you have helped others to become MIEExpert. How are you supporting others in your school or establishment?
A2 Being an #MIEExpert has resulted in me being more open to innovative ways of embedding the use of technology into the way in which I assess students’ work. Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks. Right @AdGrocott? #MSFTCelt
Q2 What impact has becoming a #MIEExpert had on learning in your classroom? What have been your big wins! #MSFTCelt
A1 I’d say the biggest benefit of being a MIEE is the fact that it enables you to be connected with like minded individuals from across the world. That and helping me to be kept aware of the best Microsoft tools and apps that are out there. #MSFTCelt
Lets get started with Q1
If you are here as #MIEExpert what have you found to be the benefits? #MSFTCelt
Remember to answer A1
Hi everyone. I’m Neil. I live in Jersey. I’m in my second year of being a MIEE. Still learning. #MSFTCelt
I'm over the moon! She's only gone and won it! And a special commendation too! Many thanks to @architecturejsy for putting on the schools competition. And well done Ella - Now you're an award winning superstar architect in the making. 🏆
And I’m sure that they won’t mind if the contingent from Jersey gatecrash the #MSFTCelt Tweet Meet on 25th November too. @AdGrocott @JBennettJSY @MichelleGosling @Digital_Shore @JerseyITGuy
What are you doing 25th Nov? The #MSFTCelt tweetmeet is BACK!
For educators everywhere who are MIEExperts or thinking about applying.
Will you be joining?
Thanks @Catwuk_Curtis. That’s praise indeed from a product design expert like yourself. Can’t wait to share this with Ella when I see her again next week.
I cannot even begin to tell you how proud I am of Ella in Y8 for putting together all this in such a short space of time. @GrainvilleSch's only entry into this years @architecturejsy schools competition. Ella - You are a superstar architect in the making!
I popped into school today to finish off my Minecraft Club noticeboard ahead of our Open Evening in the first week back after half term. If this doesn’t persuade them that @GrainvilleSch is the place to be, nothing will.

So, I spent part of my bonus bank holiday working on this. It's a tracking document that @AdGrocott asked me to create in last week's CPD session. Looking forward to the next session this week to see where this learning journey that I'm on takes me.
Full credit to @MichelleGosling for the way it looks. I totally copied the format from her.
