How you can verify this mission accomplished
We will see all the introductions under the "introductions" filter at our G+C
Or if you choose to introduce yourself in one of the spaces below, we'll see you introduction there
As you may know, Google+ Communities is shutting down in April. Also, the G+C space has been problematic because people applying for access come from across the Googlesphere and we tend to reject applications with profiles that suggest that the person applying is (1) not representing his or her real identity, and (2) is not connected in some way with education. When we can see enough of the profile to determine that one or both of those is not the case we accept the application; otherwise we might ignore or reject it.
Meanwhile, the EVO Minecraft MOOC team have been working behind the scenes to create Google Classroom and Google Group spaces to eventually replace our G+C. Both are active now, so if you are not accepted at G+C, or in addition to acceptance, please join one or both of these spaces, to insure your inclusion in the MOOC for this year 2019. Meanwhile we intend to continue interacting in our G+ Community to the extent possible during EVO2019, while members of our team work to preserve and archive our interaction there.

This gets you into the system whereby we can award your badges based on information you supply here.

This sheet acts as the “evidence” for your accomplishments in the course toward attaining goals set forth for the awarding of the badge.

Week 1 orientation missions will all likely carry on into Week 2 - Declare
EVOMC19 and Learning2gether will schedule events on this page: 2019_Live_Events
Meet-ups in Minecraft in-world can be arranged spontaneously using Doodle
(ANYONE can propose one; see these examples from 2016)
