This popped up on twitter as I was catching up on #FutureSchools posts.
Click here to check out Minecraft being used in the classroom.
After being constantly bombarded with pupils wanting to show me their newest achievements in the Minecraft game, I was intrigued to see how such a popular game can be incorporated into the classroom.Ā
The book shows the use of Minecraft in the classroom to help children engage with the key learning areas of the curriculum. I particularly like the idea of using Minecraft as a tool to convey English curriculum outcomes. After reading a section of a novel, students are able to use Minecraft to create the scenery and characters from the chapter they have just read.Ā
I have only glanced briefly at the book, but this seems to be a great idea to increase creativity in the classroom. Iām sure as I read on, more brilliant ideas will unfold!
