 we meet each other in a school in Fougere in France. We came here because games entered the classroom of Mr. Stefan Kluater and we are interested to see what happened. Let's explore. My name is Stefan Kluater and I teach technology in the middle school, the Colet Gendar class here in Fougere in France. I introduced a game-based learning in my classroom five years ago because my main objective was to introduce more collaboration within my student groups. Some video games helped me to bring multiplayer experiences for my students. That was a main goal and give them a lot of opportunity to create a fun at the same time. So that was a main goal at that point and I discovered Minecraft at that step. I was wondering if it was possible because in fact I discovered a game Minecraft with my own students and my children and I thought it would be an amazing tool to, for instance, teach architecture, history, that kind of stuff. I was wondering if some other teachers used that tool. Is it effective? Is it easy to implement in my own class? In fact, I managed to connect with some teachers in northern Europe and United States and then felt really more confident to try it. Now I think I couldn't do without it in fact because it completely, you know, changed my way of teaching, my relationship with the children themselves and my connection to other teachers. It's really a tool that I would recommend. First is to try to ask the students which game they play, what is the mood at the moment and maybe for beginning an interesting thing to do is to introduce a little workshop. Maybe you know during a student's free time just to watch and observe students playing and for instance Minecraft that was my own experience. I watched students, I observed them and I've seen so many connections with my own courses that then I was confident to use Minecraft. The lesson I use with Minecraft at the moment is a lesson about building our future city. So it's based on the districts of our own city and it's connected to the sustainable development goals. So students have to build a district in its current version and then imagine and design solutions for this district to be more according and more respectful of sustainable development goals. So at first students had to do some research about all the functions of a city. What are the needs of their inhabitants? What are the constraints when you create a building in a city and then they are to observe the district in its current version and criticize it. I have some critical thinking about their environment and then imagine imagining solutions for that district and then they build in Minecraft. So there is a lot of preparation before building in Minecraft in fact. I have to help my students to get immersed in the story to feel that they are architects, they are no longer students, they have a real role to play inside the classroom. So you know, it's empowers them. So my main goal is to empower them so when they start the activity even if they don't play in the first step, they're really in the process and they want to achieve something interesting and to create. So my main learning objectives are always based on my curriculum. So I never do without it. So my main objective in that subject is to be students must be able to have some knowledge about how a city evolves through time. They must learn to collaborate, they must learn to identify functions of a city or an object and then when the students work and build they have to use mathematical tools of course based on scale, materials, it must be really accurately connected to reality. So I just have to assess the skills and knowledge of my own curriculum during all the process and at the end they will have a kind of project review and they will have to present the solutions as they were working in a architect company to you know share all the ideas and try to convince the other students. My role is quite different in fact because I hear to immerse them in a story and then I don't have to do anything almost I have to prepare it of course but once it's launched they just discuss, work, collaborate, draw, build and when I'm in the classroom sometimes I forget I'm here and they ask me to come only when really needed and this is important because sometimes students it's difficult for them to be to develop autonomy but in fact they have experts in the classroom. Some students are experts in Minecraft. Why are you asking me some Minecraft tips? You have that guy here he knows Minecraft more than me so they develop a way to collaborate when they identify all the expertise in the classroom and my expertise is only needed when needed. What I like in this project is that we can build a lot of things. All we want is our imagination. It allows us to open up to other horizons and to be interested in other things than the main subjects like French and Maths. What is different is that we can express ourselves naturally. We can say that we are quite open and it's different in the sense that we can touch on technological subjects and we don't work on paper much less than on other subjects. The most interesting is that we already have a mission to do with and in addition we are friends so it's good. Yes I love the good atmosphere. Everyone feels good. We are part of the work. Everything works. You just have to be well organized.
