I wish they could do this at my school
but i live in new zealand and my schhol is stupid they think video games are bad for u and they dont care about the kids who like that sort of thing
Things like this are exactly why the U.S. is falling behind in education. Even after being asked, the teacher doesn't even try to explain what is actually educational about Minecraft for his students.. he just seems more interested in playing Minecraft while at work. Sounds fun, but fun isn't always educational.
Lazy teaching, lazy learning.
I'll go ahead and say that I do not agree with this program. I doubt that will actually improve how a child learns and, in fact, if you focus on playing games (yes, games, not educational programs) especially in dark lights, nothing good will come out of this, except for ****-poor vision by the age of 10.
The only effective lessons relative to teaching in minecraft, to a general public is mostly the redstone kinds...
Unless you mean primary lessons like the basis of analysis and calculations...
Because the only thing I find at my level and those of the average internet users, is more of the complex mechanics, like logic gates and switches, and essentially 'logic' programming.
But I guess you can incorporate puzzles and scenarios into the game to teach problem solving too so yeah it really depends on how you innovate on the technology.
Ill say it once ill say it twice. Games do not teach you anything, games however are a good pass time where you can apply logistic thinking.
Then again this program is for 2nd graders and I take it the teacher hasn't based the WHOLE of his curriculum on Minecraft. Actually it could be a great rewarding activity that a teacher could use for an occasional treat.
But that's all really if I was a parent and I found out the teacher was just playing computer games wit my kids them I'd be pretty pissed.Also I wasn't aware you could make such UI's for multiplayer...
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
Idiots right? xD
