New to Minecraft?

Before you hand out the computers and open Minecraft for the first time, we recommend working in collaboration with your students to set out rules and consequences for the productive use of Minecraft in the Classroom.

Suggestions:

• • Identify your class Minecraft experts who could help their peers with the basics.

  • Discuss how using Minecraft as a tool for learning might be different from how you play at home.

  • Discuss what learning behaviours look like, and what behaviors aren't good for learning (your Minecraft experts will know what "bad" Minecraft behaviours are, even if you don't).

  • Discuss what will happen if students don't follow guidelines.

  • You can use or modify our Canva template if it helps you.
