The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Allison Matthews no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Exactly. Allison, actually, that dovetails perfectly into this idea that if we are introducing these technologies, what is the future of a teacher, or teachers in general? How does that role evolve? And then also, if you have time, I'd love to just hear your, your take on how people view gaming, because that's a very interesting topic on its own, so.

A Yeah, so, um, so Minecraft education is now in a 119 countries, and we've got Millions of players every month, and a big focus of the team is on connecting with educators so we can understand what are the problems that they're trying to solve. And one of them is similar to what Sal was talking about in that in any given classroom, you're going to have a full range of readiness for whatever the course material is that's being covered. And so what teachers really need is a tool that enables differentiated learning, so a way that Um, someone who totally understands the content can, can take it further, and someone who's, who's, it's new to them, they haven't understood this before, just start to get familiar with the, with the material. And to your question of the role of the teacher, because the game supports, it's, we've got scaffolded learning experiences in the game, which means if you're stuck, if you don't know Minecraft, or if you don't really understand the lesson, We've got little things built into the lessons that can help give you tips or clues on how to move forward. So students can be self-directed in that way, which gives, frees the teacher up to actually work with the students who need more attention, or to challenge the students who are racing ahead. So, um, so that's one. I wanted to point out one other thing for teachers, because we've had a lot of teachers, espe…
