Minecraft: Education Edition
Synopsis
Minecraft: Education Edition is an open-world game that promotes creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in an immersive environment where the only limit is your imagination. Building upon the wildly popular open-world game, Minecraft, the Education Edition is specifically designed for learning in traditional classroom environments.
Through extensions such as Classroom Mode and Code Builder, Minecraft supports game-based learning and computational thinking. Additional features, like an in-game camera and student privacy features, make the Education Edition more accessible and effective in a classroom. The game has the potential to transform teaching and learning, putting students at the center and enabling educators as designers and facilitators of the learning process.
