I’m sure you’re familiar with the adage “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em?” Well, I’ve decided to join my students in the virtual world of Minecraft since that’s where they always want to go!
I joined MinecraftEdu – which is the Education Edition! MinecraftEdu provides products and services that make it easy for educators to use Minecraft in the classroom. Over 5,500 teachers in 40 countries have used MinecraftEdu to teach subjects from STEM to Language to History to Art. They even host a library of free lessons and activities.
Kind of hard to believe, right? but I’ll see. This will be my challenge in the coming months – my assignment. If you’re curious about MinecraftEdu too here’s the website https://minecraftedu.com/about. Wish me luck – and let me know what you think. Is it a Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?
Thumbs Up? Great! Join my Google Classroom and peek at the tutorials they offer for beginners – qg34rv.

Wow I would like to try this it seems really cool.
Thank you Faith. I’ll need you to teach me.
I like the idea of a customized version of Minecraft, especially since it deals with school. I look forward to getting some hands-on experience with it.
That looks cool I would want to try it sometime
Okay, let’s do it, Yusef! A little at a time.
I like that idea Ms. Martin. Thank you whoever did it because you got Ms. Martin to like minecraft.
Haha, Pithree. I was feeling lonely and left out of all the fun. I hope you’ll help me. (I know you will)
This will be so interesting, Ms. Martin! We all love Minecraft, you love education, and MinecraftEdu is the combination of them both, so students and teachers love it!
I can’t wait to start MinecraftEdu. I don’t think my friends can either! It’s always been a passion of mine for Minecraft to come in our school. 😛
Welcome back, Jada. I know Minecraft is your passion. I hope it doesn’t make me crazy. It looks crazy in there.
So true, Moise. Well said! I just hope it’s not too hard. (psssst, don’t tell anyone I said that!)
Mrs. Martin, I can`t wait to use this new Minecraft. And it`s funny that we are the teachers now for you but don`t worry, we will teach you. I`m so excited to use Minecraftedu.
This app sounds good because Minecraft is my favorite game.So I think MinecraftEdu is like Minecraft with virtual worlds, crafting, learning, and adventure.
I’m excited about learning, Terrence. I’m going to be coming to you for some tips. Thanks so much!
Mrs. Martin I guess we are the teachers and you are the student and I think you will get use to minecraft.
OMG, Michael. I taught you the Internet in Kindergarten (2 years ago) now you’re teaching me the virtual world of Minecraft. Pretty soon you’ll be with the FBI fighting cyberspace crimes and terrorists! You’re awesome!
