Teachers Please Note:

Although we are exploring educational uses of Minecraft, Massively @ jokaydia IS NOT a for-schools project, and has a focus on informal learning for kids and their parents. For this reason we are unable to accomodate class groups in the guild at this time.

If you are interested in setting up a server for your students, feel free to contact the Massively @ jokaydia team for information on the dedicated for-school options we currently support. Email: minecraft@jokaydia.com.
