Description:

Minecraft Education Edition offers my students an engaging platform to collaborate on projects related to STEM, technology, coding, and architecture. Within its familiar environment, students can use problem-solving skills, work together in real-time, and apply theoretical concepts practically. It give us tools to track progress, align with curriculum needs, and ensure a secure virtual setting. It provides a sandbox-type world for us to use in teaching content.

Purpose/Use/Notes:

Minecraft Education bridges the gap between play and learning. It empowers students to explore, innovate, and grow in an engaging and collaborative environment. Its alignment with educational strands and adaptability to various subjects make it a versatile tool that can transform the way students interact with their curriculum. I intend on using it in both CCA in conjunction with a lego architecture project, as well as in digital literacy so students can create models of both how the Internet works and the inside of a computer.
