Welcome to the group! I am curious about your experiences with Minecraft.

Were you a Minecrafter before using Education Edition?

Have you faciliated Minecraft: Education lessons before or is this a new experience?

Thank you for sharing!

I was familiar with Minecraft because my own two kids played it. I had never used it until we started using it back in February. I'm intrigued by the possibilities of having students learn within the game. (As opposed to just using it to show what they've learned by other means.)

Here is one assignment I created and have used with classes a couple times. I'm still trying to improve it. I'd be glad to hear any feedback on it. I got the idea from one of the lessons in the online database, but I built this one from scratch because our students needed more guidance in getting started.
