Welcome to my blog. It is here that I hope to document some of my adventures, and my learning, and mine craft.  Mine craft of MineCraft. 

Although I say that I was once a little green ball of clay, in fact, I am a real person, an educator, who enjoys playing and learning with others in the world of MineCraft. I spend most of my MineCraft time either playing with my own children, or with other educators and learners on the GamingEDUs Professional Play server.  I also do other things, just not as Gumby_Blockhead.  

• If you are new to MineCraft, you may enjoy learning some things about MineCraft along with me.
• If you are an educator, you may enjoy learning some things about Learning with MineCraft, again, along with me. I hope we can have conversations here in this space, and come to a better understanding within this context about larger broader ideas like creativity, motivation, community, collaboration, character, and other important stuff.

In case you run into me in a MineCraft world, right now I look like this.

In case you run into me in a MineCraft world, right now I look like this. If I am in Survival play (my natural learning habitat) I will likely be wearing iron armour, like this.  In real life, however, I look  like neither of these, nor am I green.
