Missions for EVO Minecraft MOOC 2021
EVO stands for Electronic Village Online. A MOOC is a Massively Open Online Course. In this MOOC we will explore the multi-player game Minecraft as a virtual world for learning. Many of our participants are teachers particularly language teachers, but some enjoy online gaming as a way of improving their English as a second language. Some of us are young, some of us are not so young, but all of us are young at heart :-)
Aaron Schwartz, Don Carroll, Jane Chien and Mattie Tsai, Jeff Kuhn, Kim Harrison, Laura Briggs, Marijana, Filip, and Domagoj SmolĨec, Mircea Patrascu, Rose and Emanuel Bard, Vance and Bobbi Stevens; and defacto moderators Olivetree Grove, and Dakotah Redstone
What are your first steps to join us in Minecraft?

Request for feedback on EVOMC21
Thanks to all the EVO Minecraft MOOC co-moderators and participants who made this year's session so special
Some of us were working in COVID19 lockdown conditions during this period. I think this helped us illustrate through through extrapolation from our own learning and through the occasional participation of young learners in EVOMC21 how a Minecraft component could be a powerful stimulus for engagement in an online course with English language learners.
If you enjoyed this session and feel you benefited in some way, could you please leave us feedback in these spaces:
Please fill in the EVO Participant survey - https://forms.gle/oGkDztFwqJPPsobn8 This survey is conducted by EVO after each session to help us justify continued support of EVO under TESOL/CALL-IS sponsorship The deadline requested is Feb 15, but asap after that will still be highly appreciated.
Please leave us a short recording of you spontaneous reflection on EVOMC21 on the Flipgrid here: https://flipgrid.com/af3fa4dd Your recording will join the dozens of others you can see at that link and will appear as a gallery of voices in the upcoming TESOL 2021 Virtual Conference
