I recently had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Carla Gambler's Grade 4 class at Waywayseecappo Community School. The Grade 4s had participated in an animal scavenger hunt for their outdoor education class, which involved them locating animal decoys around their school grounds and learning the Ojibway names for each animal.
Mrs. Gambler extended the learning activity by developing a Minecraft build challenge for her class. Students were tasked with the challenge of re-creating their school arbour in Minecraft. The arbour is located on the school grounds and outdoor education classes are held inside. Check out the screen recordings and screenshots below from Grade 4 students to learn more about the outdoor education activity and the Minecraft EDU project.
Thank you to Mrs. Gambler and her class for inviting me to view their creations and showcase their work here to inspire others!
