Convincing stakeholders that Minecraft can be used as a teaching and learning tool was like taking a hike. Sometimes the trail was well traveled, sometimes there were obstacles never seen before. The sharing of lessons learned as well as lesson plans will help you bring Minecraft into your educational world.

Spencer is a Teacher on Special Assignment, currently working for the district as an Instructional Technology Specialist. In this position, he is available for teachers that want help in transforming their classroom instruction through the integration of technology. He is here to support teachers by doing the research for them, planning a lesson so they can see the final product, and providing continuing support throughout the year. Spencer's plan is to make the jobs of the teachers in Santa Rosa County Schools easier, not just give them more “stuff” to implement.
