What is Minecraft education?
Minecraft is a network-based game acquired a few years ago by Microsoft and has achieved world-wide claim. As a type of a sand box game, the player uses Lego –like cubes to create an imaginative virtual world. Educational Minecraft uses this platform to integrate rich and significant educational content from various subjects. This unconventional learning style encourages curiosity, develops interest in educational subjects and challenges students with team building strategies, leading to a fun, engaging and more impactful learning experience.
Minecraft & Education - winning combination
- The students go through a learning process, memory improvement and technological skills development- without the pressures associated with learning
- The form of the game can be personal/individual, group, class and even community
- Full control for the teacher: the students are in a limited educational space with a clear goal. The degree of the teacher’s control and the student’s independence is subject to the game’s guidelines.
