Tinkercad Vs. Minecraft 2026 Edition Part Three

 

We are refining the students Minecraft designs as created by students using their iPads and the Tinkercad App.   When completed and checked by other experts the students have then looked for opportunities around our school to find locations where their Minecraft animals might look at place - such as the chicken shown left which is peering into the school sports shed with classrooms and the playground in the background.

Other students were encouraged to improve their design and look at ways to extend their creativity.  Students concentrated on colour matching (where possible not all of the colour matching could be completed)

One of the strengths of the Tinkercad App and using it for AR/VR work with our students is its versatility.  Using the iPad gives the students the opportunity to project their own creations at a range of locations around the school without the need for any green screening.

Students (in this case eight year olds) are able to complete this independently without the need for any teacher input.   In this instance there is a corresponding post on the Facebook page which includes additional photographs and media from this activity you can access it by clicking on the link here.
