1: With the new trial system in place, knowledgeable students will be more important. One way or another they will have to learn.
2: I'm not sure how the school server is operating now, so take my next ideas lightly:
3: To remove some of burden off "teaching the same thing over and over" (which, mind you, as someone who taught a lot while I was active, I didn't mind teaching adders many many many times. I treated it as a fun puzzle to figure out how the student learned and adapt my strategies to fit their needs best) why don't we regularize the lessons, saying x lesson is happening at y time at z's plot. That way we can have groups of people learn from the same lesson. It would be almost.. you know... more like a... school?
4: A set ORE curriculum may be helpful. Videos especially. Maybe we could reboot the ORE yt channel?
5: Maybe we could integrate school into the build (something I've advocated a lot in the past) this would put the students and builders into contact more instead of isolating them.
6: What about hosting official group projects where a group of 1-3 students work with a builder or two on a real redstone project? We could call them "Internships" or something #newoideas
I think the idea of having lessons at a specific time and place is a good idea but the issue is not everyone can make it due to time zones etc.
I would really love for the ORE YouTube to be reborn because at the moment its doing jack shit and I would love to see the channel posting stuff like tutorials and cool ass builds. There isn't really an excuse for not uploading due to lack of ideas because there is a forum thread filled with cool build people have made.
Now that the school stuff is changing i am open for school to merge with the build but wouldn't that make build more laggy? along with the fact there isn't a backup server if one of them goes down?
The idea about group projects needs to be added but for everyone, Nickster(i think) had an idea for something like a project Euler where you receive problems but in minecraft. Id love something like this because you can just pick something new to test your skills every so often and it would be good for students to be challenged with things other then making an ALU .
Let the salt consume you..
