Week 1 - Jan 12-18, Orient - figure out who we are and why we are here. Buy Minecraft from http://minecraft.net. Serious participants will have to invest $20 to stay in the game through to week 2.  Grab a space in https://www.canvas.net/courses/minecraft-for-educators before it fills up

Jeff Kuhn is providing materials from his parallel course: 
Leaning Back vs Leaning Forward - a general discussion of games and how they are designed for engagement vs a more traditional education content-delivery approach.

Participants will need to purchase MC this week, and we'll explain how that is done (we are sorry for this unavoidable $20 outlay, but the game is not free)
