We had an update from West Primary School today. The children there are producing buildings in SketchUp and Minecraft of iconic buildings in and around Paisley. I’m sure you’ll agree they are off to a brilliant start! We can’t wait to see how they progress.
Some of their inspiration-

We’ve added a new Minecraft ‘How to’ video to our website.
It outlines the essentials for getting started in Minecraft- from which buttons to press to move around, through to how to start a basic build.
Have a look and then use our specially developed Minecraft PDF guides to help you set things up in class.
Have fun!
Whether you plan to use Tinkercad, SketchUp, Minecraft, Minecraft Edu or the version available on Raspberry Pi, we have helpful ‘How to’ guides to get you started.
These printable guides will show you how to download and install software and set up simple networked experiences so that learners can build and play together. Once you’ve done that and are ready to go, our guides will tell you what buttons to press, how to build and design simple structures and how to save buildings and submit your work to us.
If you prefer to be shown what to do, then we have tutorial videos, which talk you through how to start building using this software.
Let us know which buildings or landmarks your class intend on building by emailing builditscotland@bbc.co.uk We’d love to see how your projects progress so send us photos of your class or group hard at work and we’ll publish them here on our Glow blog.
