Description
Minecraft: Education Edition is a game-based learning platform with standards-aligned content across K12 subjects and special features designed for classroom use. Your student can play in a multiplayer world shared with other students in the same class. They can get introduced to coding by creating "mods" that automate certain actions in the game.
We will be using either the Java version of MinecraftEdu or the Win 10 app Minecraft Education Edition depending on the lesson plan or IT school resources.
Experience, for example:
• a trip to Washington D.C. complete with famous buildings, institutions and monuments;
• a world of timelines with areas representing the Greek gods, ancient China or Rome;
• being immersed in a representation of the human respiratory and circulatory systems;
• creating atoms to mix into chemical compounds that can then be used to create objects.
Students have the opportunity to learn programming skills by using Minecraft Education Edition's built-in coding languages to modify the game.
The game encourages a host of positive and prosocial behaviors. We’ve watched kids gather with their friends time and time again and, in the course of playing together, dedicating time to planning what they will build, measuring out spatial relations and quantities of resources, dividing labor, and otherwise actively working together to build whatever the project of the day is. When the kids aren’t actively playing Minecraft they’re talking about it, sharing Minecraft articles with each other, and voraciously reading those articles to learn more about Minecraft.
