Your #CDNcraft Build

Would you please complete this survey on what improvements you would like to see in this classroom? You will see that the questions are duplicated so that you can provide your top two choices. Thanks for your help!

The Modern Classroom Survey

It’s time to BUILD!

Students will now build something that represents their response to “What does it look like to be a great Canadian?”. Some students may want to build these representations in Minecraft. Other may want to build models, songs, etc.

 If students from different classes or the same classes want to work together, that is fantastic.

NOTE: A Minecraft collaborative world and instructions on how to install and provide student access to it will be provided to participants.

Some ideas:

  • Minecraft
  • Build a Wiki page in Global Perspectives
  • Models
  • Songs
  • Poems
  • Essays
  • Video
  • Survey
  • Radio Shows
  • Images/Posters
  • Infographic
  • Drawings
  • Dance
  • Magazine
  • PPT or other slide presentations
  • Comic or graphic story (Pixton WBE account)
  • Thinglink or other digital presentation tools
