Description

In a series of four freely available Minecraft Education Lessons, that can be downloaded by teachers anywhere and accessed via the Minecraft Education Platform, students encounter a variety of problems that reflect construction challenges in cities today. The lessons take place in Newtown, a specially created virtual city in Minecraft, to design, plan, collaborate and build solutions that develop a sustainable future for all its citizens.

Can we still upload worlds using the Server Launcher? Doesn't seem to work anymore for me? You?

I downloaded this but the world is completely wrong. No structures, no anything. This looks like the perfect classroom project. Help.

@Mr.P This may happen if you don't grab the actual world file after unzipping. When unzipping - When unzipping, the world file is placed as a sub folder, so make sure to navigate into the unzipped folder and copy the file with the actual world data. Also - I can see that it is not possible to use the "Download with server launcher" button - so please use the manual download. There will be an updated version of this map available here around 1st December.

@The Gameworkshop Thank you for your reply. It made all the difference. My students and I have been working in and exploring Newtown. WOW. This is the best Minecraft project I have seen to date. We will be completing Chapter 2 today. Thank you for all your hard work on this project. Teachers: USE THIS PROJECT. The lesson plans are well written, the tasks are clear and concise, and the kids think its fantastic. I'm using it in grades 7/8. I had my Principal walk through during a class and he was very impressed and any concerns he had about using Minecraft in the classroom were dissipated. A+

I'm also using this with my 8th graders and I'm loving it. Here's a video of a public hearing we had for chapter one's rooftop construction. https://vimeo.com/199935755 Looking forward to the rest of the unit.

Hello there. Thank you very much for this feedback - its great to know that the instructional design makes sense to teachers out there. Make sure to send the CIOB your experiences with CYF. We have just uploaded a new version of the MinecraftEdu world. We have fixed some bugs in the tutorial buildings and the tweaked the spawn area.
