On the surface it looks like a few students playing Minecraft…
Learners first, connected and inspired
Then you notice a large class is engaged in learning multiple literacies…

Then you hear that the students built and manage the game server…

And the class created the learning spaces (entire worlds!)

You soon realise local and global conversations are taking place…
Nathaniel is working on a program written by AJ, a 13 yrold UK student .
AJ gets feedback from students in USA and Australia.
Nathaniel communicates with a teacher and students in the USA to discuss a shared project of which AJs program will prove invaluable.
Nathaniel asks sick classmate at home a question via Skype.
Donelle reads Google+ community comment from USA teacher regarding RHS student collaborating to support server management of his school server. AJs program skills will prove useful here.
Kate, a NSW teacher comments on the usefulness of work done by AJ in UK
Jo Kay, project mentor, comments on the global audience reading AJ’s blog
Harrison, together with the other two server managers for classes at Riverside and a nearby primary school, solves a technical issue preventing students from accessing a program feature.
Nathaniel had to leave class early because his blog impressed someone at the HITLab…
Who invited him to a forum on the future of his city…
And Nathaniel is still following that discussion on Twitter…
