You wanted more…you got it! Last week we on EdGamer we discussed a teacher from NYC who was using the game Minecraft in his elementary school classes. In this episode of EdGamer we are happy to introduce our first guest…the “Minecraft Teachr” himself…Joel Levin from Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School in NYC. Listen in as Joel joins us and talks about his experiences with Minecraft, the benefits of gaming in education, and how to go about using Minecraft in YOUR classroom. Don’t miss Episode 6 of EdGamer!
Thought of the week– Listen and you will see why our guests should only be named Gerry.

Great episode! Joel’s work is awesome! We’re starting a program in our district this Friday with Minecraft and 5th graders. I’ve created a wiki for resource sharing (technical, lessons, research, etc.) for any schools/educators interested in contributing. http://minecraftinschool.pbworks.com
Thank you Lucas for you comments. I just took a quick peek of your site http://bit.ly/f25zxn and I like it. I already see some great resources. Please keep in touch about your project.
Great podcast, even for a rank amateur like me. Still coming to grips with the potential of this for a primary school (elementary)
