This year’s NCCE Conference<\/a> starts February 26! I was fortunate enough to have two workshops accepted for this year’s conference<\/a>. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Tammie Schrader <\/a>again, which is always a bonus for me to get to benefit from her expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not seem to get innovative ideas on my own and therefore cannot take credit for all the amazing things I share. What I do is keep my eyes and ears open to get ideas and inspiration from other amazing people. I know something good when I see it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, to any of you out there who don’t feel innovative or don’t think you can do things you see others sharing and doing, take it from me – YOU CAN<\/strong>! I copy, copy, copy. I feel guilty when people give me credit because I’m just doing what I see others doing so I want to set the record straight while sharing my presentations for this year’s conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, my first workshop on Thursday, Feb 27 at 12 noon, Game On: Transforming STEM Education with Minecraft Challenges<\/a> (yes, I used ChatGPT to come up with that title and now I know to get rid of the colon part) uses a very cool feature from Minecraft Education: the Esports worlds! The idea to use the esports worlds not just for an esports program or club, but for STEM or any other class came from Stephen Reid, @StephenReidEdu<\/a>, who created those worlds. I never would have thought to use those worlds in my Science class but thanks to Stephen I did and it was great <\/a>so I’m sharing it with others!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
