I was first introduced to Minecraft by my own kids. Then, I attended Model Schools a few years ago and attended a session about using Minecraft in the classroom. The presenter was an English teacher who used Minecraft for his students who created a world for the novels they were reading in class. This was an awesome activity! You can now buy Minecraft EDU for your school and let students have fun. I would recommend buying and maintaining your own server so students can't just copy other people's worlds. John Spike's website hosts a ton of information on Minecraft in the classroom. Check it out!

Quiziz is very similar to Kahoot. Once again students can play as a group and compete with each other. However, the difference is that with Kahoot all students have to answer before they move on to the next question and the students are not able to see the questions on their device. With quiziz, students can work at their own pace, see specifically which answers they got wrong and see the questions and answers all on their device.
