Below is the Minecraft for Teachers calendar. Check the blog posts on the right sidebar for more information about the upcoming workshops. If you attended one of the workshops and want to leave a comment, please do. We want to know what is helpful to teachers and what isn’t. We want to make Minecraft for Teachers a great open resource for teachers to come, collaborate, share and learn together, so that we can help more kids to learn and love to learn.
If you are interested in holding your own workshop, contact Mark Cheverton at MarkTheMinecraftAuthor (at) Gmail (dot) com. I can load your world into one of the portals in the Teacher Zone, letting other teachers see your lesson and experience it in the same way your students do, then make it downloadable for everyone.
