Minecraft Education is game-based learning guaranteed to engage your students! AACPS has created individual build world templates allowing teachers to easily incorporate Minecraft into their daily instruction for groups of 24 or 40 students. Individual build worlds are like having a museum of student-built models and structures. Teachers have access to all student builds in one world. Great as no-cost, mess free alternative to traditional 3-D paper projects. Students have more freedom and space to express their creativity in this virtual world.
