Minecraft Education

Minecraft Education is a game-based platform that promotes creative and inclusive learning through play. It offers a unique and engaging way for students to explore various subjects and challenges in blocky worlds. With lessons and curriculum designed for all types of learners, students can dive into subjects like reading, math, history, and coding.

One of the key features of Minecraft Education is its versatility. With hundreds of ready-to-teach lessons, creative challenges, and blank canvas worlds, teachers can customize the platform to fit their students' needs. And the best part? No gaming experience is necessary, making it accessible for all students.

In addition to academic subjects, Minecraft Education also helps prepare students for the future by developing key skills such as problem solving, collaboration, digital citizenship, and critical thinking. By sparking a passion for STEM, students are equipped with the necessary skills to thrive in the workplace.

Through partnerships with organizations like BBC Earth, NASA, and the Nobel Peace Center, Minecraft Education offers immersive content that unlocks creativity and deep learning. Students can engage in real-world topics with culturally relevant lessons and build challenges.

Minecraft Education also offers a variety of features to enhance the learning experience. Multiplayer mode allows for collaboration across platforms, devices, and hybrid environments. The Code Builder feature supports block-based coding, JavaScript, and Python, while the Immersive Reader helps players read and translate text. The Camera and Book & Quill items allow for documentation and export of in-game creations. And with integration with Microsoft Teams and Flipgrid, teachers have access to assessment and teacher controls.

To access Minecraft Education, a license can be purchased with Admin access to a Microsoft 365 Admin Center account. Academic licensing is also available. The terms of use and privacy policy for this platform can be found on the Microsoft website.
