Minecraft PBL Support
The team helped develop classroom materials for teachers to deploy in order to support student work. This particular example shows how the team interviewed, created, and supported project materials for a 7th grade PBL that where students learned about Mesoamerican Civilizations. Students created their models using the Pocket Edition of Minecraft using iPads.

The Process
The team began the process by determined areas of need for the project by interviewing the teacher. Through this interview, the team developed a plan for supporting the project by creating a website that contained everything needed by students for the project. This included project documents and handouts, tutorials, project expectations, and answers to common questions.
The support website, once created, helped the teacher by answering students questions and providing a resource for the teacher to learn more about using the program for their own benefit.
