The most important thing teachers can encourage in young people is to develop ‘inquiring minds’ - to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check that information and take it from a multiplicity of sources.
— Lord David Puttnam - Digital Champion & MindRising Ambassador

MindRising 2016

 

Is comórtas é MindRising 2016 ag céiliúradh 200 blian ar oileán na hÉirinn. Molann Mindrising teicneolaíocht digiteach do scoileanna agus grúpaí. Is faoinár scéalta stairiúla agus ár dtodhchaí a insint; atá MindRising gafa.

Beidh na foirne páirteach ag baint leas as a scileanna scéalaíochta, thar réimse leathan meáin ag tógáil a chuid tionscnamh i Minecraft. Moltar dóibh cuimhní ar an 100 bliain chaite agus an chéad 100 bhliain romhainn a shamhlú.

Why would we enter?

As an educator, I value the opportunities presented by MindRising 2016 for children and young people to mark the 1916 centenary in ways that promote their historical understanding, help them to connect the past and the present and support them in imagining the future. Whether they are drawing on the evidence to reconstruct past events and localities, investigating change over time or building on the present to imagine possible futures, MindRising offers rich opportunities for child-led and enquiry-based learning and, most importantly, gives voice to that learning though digital storytelling.
— Professor Fionnuala Waldron Cregan Professor of Education, DCU Institute of Education,

Educators/Group Leaders

We've designed MindRising to allow you to get involved based on your capacity. 

"I can only spare a couple of hours"

  • No effort - use MindRising video's to enliven a lesson (videos coming soon) with Minecraft-based learning curriculum content
  • Less than 1 hour - use our curriculum aligned lesson plans to teach a historical topic
  • 2-3 hours - build a minimum viable entry (the smallest competition entry you could possibly imagine),you do everything in a frenetic 3 hours sprint

"I can only spend a day or two on this"

  • Spread the effort over 1-2 weeks working following one of the story paths - discovering, storytelling & learning 

"I want to enter the competition"

  • Option 1: Follow the self-paced design-thinking basd program over the 8 weeks of the competition (available 3rd Feb) this will get you ready to submit your entry
