Teachers have long used a wide variety of tools to teach students, even games. Now, Minecraft joins the ranks of titles which are both fun and educational, and you can see it in action right now! MinecraftEdu is a collaborative team of educators and programmers who seek to bring Minecraft to the classroom in affordable ways, so it can be accessible to as many schools as possible. They offer onsite workshops and in-service training to help educators use this incredible game to its fullest potential in a learning environment. In the near future, they will also be offering custom game versions, easy-to-use servers for classroom-driven SMP, a library of worlds, levels and activities to assist in activities, and more!
While still in the private beta stage, this remarkable project sets itself up to take the learning world by storm, merging learning and gaming in amazing new ways. Keep an eye out for MinecraftEdu, coming out soon!
No, just no... I play Minecraft because It's fun and awesome.
It gets more popular and known every single day.
And now Almsot everyone knows about Minecraft and I have to hear everyday at school how much Minecraft sucks and that the graphics are ugly and all that stupid and annoying stuff.
I love Minecraft, but I just don't want to see it go Global and even have kids play it.
Please allright..? I don't want to be playing a little kids game.
Minecraft is Mineraft and don't let it go Duplo and toddler.
ah, seeing servers become much more easily accesable will be my most wanted part of this, i hope they can become much easier to make, second fav part is the fact that kids will learn building skills, decoration, and stuff like that!!!
They should make a good custom version.. I hope my school buys the original version and just use the MinecraftEdu mod... Oh well i'll have to find out if my school even buys it...
Also the Development team is making custom versions for these schools across the world or maybe even specific teachers, meaning less work polishing the snowball the continues to roll we call minecraft (non beta.
Minecraft has more or less become in some ideal only a base for modders to finish opening the can of worms.
