The geology of minecraft
The computer game sensation 'Minecraft' has become a mainstay amongst school students of all ages. Anecdotally, at Geoscience Australia, we have observed that 'Minecrafters' often draw comparisons between their Minecraft experiences and the real world.
For some students, the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. At the extremes, there are those who believe that the depiction of concepts in the game is a reflection of the real world, and those who see the game as pure fantasy with no relation to science and the world at large. In truth, Minecraft falls somewhere between these two views.
The use of real terms in a fantasy world can lead to confusion. But these questions present a prime opportunity for the classroom teacher to engage students in the true science of geology. This paper discusses some of the misconceptions of Minecraft and some of the scientific concepts posed within the game that may be useful to understand when talking to students about geology.

Equipping the digital history student, teacher and classroom of today and tomorrow
What is a digital history teacher and what does a digital history classroom look like? There are lots of fantastic history teacher groups out there - the community is active and always willing to share ideas and resources. For professional development I would suggest checking out the hashtags #Histedchat and #HistoryTeacher to begin with; also check out Russel Tarr's list of history teachers active on Twitter.8 If you're looking for an innovative assessment task, check out my friend and mentor Simon McKenzie's 'Tweeting Pompeii.'9 Students re-enacted the event via a Twitter feed - it was very successful and an example of what can be achieved via Twitter. Flipped learning is a strategy that reverses the traditional learning environment by aiming to deliver course content outside of the classroom while spending class time on projects and applying skills.

Multiplayer Games : Multimodal Features That Support Friendships of Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder
There is an absence of research into online friendships and video gaming activities of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this article we describe how friendships of students with ASD were developed in an online multiplayer context using the popular sandbox game, Minecraft. Multimodal analysis of the data demonstrated that online multiplayer gaming supported students' use of speech to engage in conversations about their friendships, and to share gaming experiences with their offline and online friends. Online gaming enabled students to visually gather information about their friends' online status and activities, and to engage in the creative and adventurous use of virtual images and material representations with friends. Despite the benefits for friendships, students with ASD experienced difficulties in friendships in multimodal ways. Notably, students engaged in verbal disagreements about video gaming discourses, sought out activities associated with the themes of death and damage using written text, and tended to dominate shared creations of virtual images and their representation. The findings have implications to better support the friendships of students through inclusive literacy practices online. [Author abstract]
