Friday 3 May - Christchurch City Library Learning Centre Minecraft Sessions

Today I caught up over lunch with a friend and former work colleague, Danny McNeil who now works for Christchurch City Libraries and is in charge of Special Projects at the South Learning Centre. Imagine my surprise to find that Danny has been running Minecraft sessions for the past year! These run after school, and in the holidays.

So, after some excited and animated discussion on the subject of Minecraft in education, guess where I headed after lunch - to the Riccarton Library to watch a session in action. This was being lead by an incredibly knowledgeable Year 11 student and the conversation with him ranged widely - even to a new economy  involving Bitcoins and trading. I wonder what this young man learns about in class...
