Otako Kaufusi from the Microsoft New Zealand Education team is taking to the road with a new series on how to use Minecraft: Education Edition in your classroom. This series, that will cover many areas of New Zealand, is also going to introduce the soon-to-be-launched Ngā Motu world: a uniquely Aotearoa world inside of Minecraft. This world will be officially launched during Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori (week of 9th September) but you can see some early screenshots below:
If you are keen to get some training on how to integrate Minecraft:EE into your teaching and learning programs as well as get guided support for Ngā Motu then consider coming along to one of the sessions closest to you.
