Please review the information here with screenshots of things you should be aware of when filing in the form, how2joinUs
Why?
This registers you in our session and allows us to whitelist you on our Minecraft server
What should you be doing?
Assemble the following information
Your real name and where you’re from
Please provide a link to one of your web or social media profiles, or to your introduction to our community in one of our networks; e.g. Groups.io from step 1
Your Minecraft player name (known or intended) You'll need to obtain a valid Minecraft user namein order for us to whitelist you on our MC server
Your level of experience with Minecraft (ranging from “noob” to expert)
A link to where you will track your learning journey (e.g. a wiki, blog, or ePortfolio)
A field with your data will appear in the dBase linked to the Google form, so we'll know when you've registered
When you have registered and obtained a Microsoft user ID from Mojang, we can whitelist you on our server
What you can do if your application is not accepted
We accept people requesting to join us when their profiles suggest that the applicant is (1) representing his or her real identity, and (2) is connected in some way with education. When we suspect from what we can see in a user's profile that one or both of these is not the case we might reject the application. As we mentioned in our proposal here:
We only allow to remain with us, and accept join requests from, potential professional colleagues and their students (and sometime their children) whose profiles appear to link to identifiable people who could be potential colleagues as opposed to gamers apparently using pseudonyms, and whose reasons for joining us would likely be incompatible with our goals and passions, which relate to gamification in education, not just playing Minecraft for hedonistic reasons. As we are a community of practice interested in assisting each other in using Minecraft creatively and constructively with students, we might reject profiles that appear irrelevant to our goals or indicate no evidence of shared aspirations.
If you are a bona fide educator wishing to join us, and for some reason we reject you, please send an email to the primary contact given at the end of the proposal, which is vancestev at gmail.com
Mission 2 - Introduce yourself on Groups.io/minecraftmooc
Once we have you registered we can white list you on our server.
Why?
So we can play together in Minecraft.
What should you be doing?
Purchase your login to Minecraft from Mojang http://minecraft.net Be sure and get the Java version. See the screen shot here: how2joinUs
All software downloads including server software and client software multiple devices are free; you pay around $30 for your unique login credential (to Mojang, not to us) We can only use emeralds and diamonds which we get by trading with villagers in Minecraft
You can capture screen shots, post them on Twitter or Facebook, tag them #evomc20 ... so many ways :-)

Why?
On the theory that a student practices and reflects, whereas a teacher practices and demonstrates, we ask you to surpass your role as 'teacher' and do all four!; see slide 22 from Downes, S. (2007). Personal Learning the Web 2.0 Way. Stephen Downes: Knowledge, Learning, Community. Available: https://www.downes.ca/presentation/144
