How to Use Minecraft Education on ipad (Complete Guide)

Okay everybody welcome back to learn with  minecraft education today we’re going to   be looking at how to download and install  minecraft education for the ipad now let’s   get things started by going over to the app store  and typing in minecraft education in the search  

Bar now when the little bookshelf with the green  background pops up you’re going to hit download on   that one that’s the one that we want okay now  it will take a moment to download and install  

But it will do that automatically so i’m just  going to skip forward a little bit in the video   and we will click open and  then move to the next stage   okay so the download’s finished and the install as  well so we’re going to click open and load up the  

Program now before this next set of instructions  you will need some details from either your   ict teacher your computing teacher or your it  admin at the school or company where you work   to get your username and password but  once you have those just enter them in  

I’ve blurred out mine because i don’t want  everyone knowing my username and password   but if you do have any problems accessing those  just double check your internet connection double   check you’re spelling everything correctly  and then if that fails contact your teacher  

Or it support just to make sure they’ve got enough  licenses and that it’s all working all right now   uh when we first load up the app we got to the  home screen here the first thing that microsoft  

Suggests you do is click the little um they  click the little coat hanger down there and   change your skin and select one that you  want to use i suggest going into lessons   going to the library going to the lessons just  having a dig around everything’s organized into  

Subjects so if you want to click those and  have a look it will give you a description   of the lesson and then it will also if you click  create world you can go into the lesson and have  

A play around with it and just choose you know the  kind of stuff that you want to do with your class   now the first thing i recommend doing if you’re  in a computing lesson and you’re new to the ipad  

Is certainly to go to we’re going to go to lessons  and we’re going to go to the library how to play   start here and we’re going to wake work our way  through the tutorials there particularly the one  

That says um touch controls that’s a useful one  but for now we’re going to have a look through the   first tutorial which is called movements and we’ll  see how it works for users of the ipad okay now   as we go through this we want to read the  instructions obviously we want to select  

These gold blocks now when you touch the screen  like this you will get a circle that appears   but we don’t want to get that circle on the gold  block we want to get the gold block in the center  

Of the screen by dragging and moving our view  around so we’ll do those four turn around and   get the last one and this little cage here is  going to open up so we can walk through now the  

Up down left right arrows will move us around  and as well as using those we need to keep   dragging our finger across the screen to  get our character looking and pointing   in the right direction okay so kind of the point  of this lesson is really getting the students  

Used to doing those two things at once which  can be quite tricky i know many students will   have used pocket edition before but not all of  them now if anyone of your students are finding   this difficult or you’re finding it difficult  you can go into settings and you can change it  

So that the arrows are on the right side and then  you used your left hand to drag around the screen   so left-handed people might find that a little bit  easier so as you make your way through this level  

There’s a few obstacle courses just to get used  to it but you come out of this little section here   and you can exit the lesson by pressing  the pause button and pressing um save and   exit however you we’re going to have a little  look at the chat commands so we’ll hit the  

Little chat bubble at the top because what’s  interesting that is in the in the ipad version   you get these little um blocks of commands so  you can access the commands quite quickly so you  

Can see here just a couple of touches and i was  able to change it to sunset and there’s a one for   teleport as well and set world spawn point however  more than that you need to type it in so we’ll  

Just do a give command here and you’ll notice  it does auto-complete at the top which is useful   but it would be really nice if  you could actually touch those   auto-completed bits of code to make it complete  in the in the text box at the bottom there that  

Would be nice you can’t do that unfortunately  um so we’re just gonna type out give at a   arrow and um that will pop into our inventory uh  just like it would in the normal uh version okay  

So the coding elements uh the command elements  i should say all seem to work exactly the same   so let’s save and exit head out of this particular  tutorial now next we’re going to go into this   big creative world um that i’ve created an  infinite world just to look at the inventory  

Now to access inventory it’s a few little dots  next to the hot bar the bottom right and then   we’ve just hit search i’m just going to show  you how to move things into inventory now what   i’m trying to do at the moment is drag those  blocks down actually that doesn’t work what  

You need to do is touch them to select them  and then touch to your hotbar where you want   which slot you want those blocks to go in and if  i fly down here you can see if i just tap once  

It will place those blocks and if i tap and hold  it’ll dig those blocks away and mine them away now   a couple of other things to note about the touch  interface you can see at the top middle there  

We’ve got a little picture of the agent so you  can do all the coding stuff the same if you hit   the agent you can go into microsoft mate code or  into tinker and do some of the tutorials on there  

That’s always a really good way to get into the  coding element and the other big thing i noticed   i’m kind of middle clicking to pick blocks and  move them into your hotbar I couldn’t find a  

Way to do that but apparently you can connect  a controller up to your ipad so if you’ve got   a controller for something lying around a wireless  controller you could connect that and go into the  

Settings and set it up so if you had students that  had access to things like that and really wanted   to use those features you could certainly look  into that for them now we are going to be looking  

Uh in a further video we’re going to be looking at  more sustainability city that we started last week   so we’ll do the second lesson of that so please  make sure if you like today’s video and you want
