    2. Kia ora Kylah,
      Open the Hour of Code Tale of Two Villages Tutorial on a seperate tab. This has more information to help you with Activity 1: Kick Start.

      If you are having trouble accessing try restarting your Chromebook and logging in again.

      Let me know how you go,
      Mrs Grant

      1. Kia ora Malachi, yes the school has to do this for you if you are using your Chromebook. I can email to get this done for you but it may not happen now until next week because of Christmas break. I will let you know.

      1. Kia ora Malachi, firstly can you confirm for me that the App is installed on your chromebook please?

        Find the To search for an app on your Chromebook: On your keyboard, press the Search key (look for the magnifying glass icon) enter the name of the app Minecraft Education. The app will show in your search results.

        If they app is installed can you email me a screenshot of what happens when you try to login. I will send you an email so you can reply.

        thank you,
        Mrs Grant

      1. Kia ora Deja, your school needed to install the Minecraft App before the SLJ started in December. If you can't locate the App on your chromebook this may have not been completed. These activities will still be available after the SLJ has finished. Once you get back to school you could request this is installed on your chromebook so you can try them.
