Note: This site is a work in progress as we begin using Minecraft: EE across our district. This site will pull information, resources, and ideas as they are applicable to our teachers and students. Please visit the main Minecraft Site for complete information, inspiration, and ideas.
Builds skills, promote creativity and engage students in collaboration and problem-solving using Minecraft: Education Edition.
Minecraft EE can be used across all grade levels and subject areas with standards based lessons.
Fail early, fail often.
Teach Students to take risks in a safe environment - a game.
Provide multiple paths to success.
Old school video games had one way to win. Newer "sandbox" games are more open. How can your teaching be like this?
Build something that matters.
Students want to create things with a purpose. Minecraft lets them create something difficult and worthwhile.
Learn new ideas by experiencing them.
Students learn vocabulary, real-time, as it pertains to playing with others in the game, or math as they understand construction.
Learn how all pieces can fit or be fitted.
Games help players see how their actions fit in the bigger picture, not just the individual.
Bring players together to learn a common goal. Players must communicate, work together, and build empathy through their avatars and working with each other.
