Commonwealth Games & Minecraft Blocks

When it was our turn to investigate the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in our ICT day Room 23 had heard about it from other classes. The goal to create a Minecraft 3D model to show off our research and observations skills, was more about our Minecraft skills... or so we thought!

After getting into teams the groups chose three or four sports events for variety. Next we all researched the facilities, equipment and designs of the venues. We spent a little bit of time getting search words that would give us the best images out of google.

We discussed the details we were looking for in each photo we found. The hard part was skimming and scanning lots of photos to find the best ones with good detail to include in our Minecraft world. Then we all saved the photos to our camera rolls for later.

Mr. McLay learnt that Skitch was a good app to use for putting arrows and words on pictures. Mr. Baker has been using it for ages.  That was one of the ideas our class gave him.  Go to the bottom of this post to check out and fly around the Minecraft worlds we're going to finish in a few weeks time.









This class is totally focused.
