The future of the education ; Minecraft !
HOW I USE IT
I teach in Game Design and Development and have grown to really love Minecraft as a game design engine. Minecraft is a sandbox game, meaning that students are limited only by their imagination. I have seen educators use Minecraft in every content area. In my class, kids recreate fairy tales in Minecraft and create their own games within minecraft. The range of games kids can create is wide. Students work in design teams and collaborate to create their stories and games. This includes everything from creating a comprehensive design document outlining their ideas to creating, peer testing, and iterating on the design until their game is complete. Students learn advanced skills in the game (primarily on their own) including the use of redstone to automate functions in their game.

MY TAKE
Minecraft is a very special tool in education. One of the things I love most is that many kids come with an existing level of expertise. My strength is teaching the process of the game design. Kids can hit the floor running when they already have a base understanding. Those that don't are happy to jump in and learn, often with incredible support from their peers. The inherent collaborative nature of Minecraft allows for teams of any size to work together and I am continually amazed at how organic the team work flow seems to develop within the game. Kids tend to find and focus on their strengths within the game and roles form in a very authentic way.

I don't have any things else to say about this awesome game ! I wish you'll like it ... I discovered this website from Mushway's channel , and I normally talk french , so I wish there is not too much errors on the text ... So , I'm going to fill the rest of this paragraph with the description of minecraft (by wikipedia) ... Or I'm just gonna talk for nothing ... Huh , yep , I'm gonna talk for nothing ... I don't know if it's called like that (talk for nothing) but in french , it's called "Parler de tout et de rien" ... So , I'm going to continue to reach the eight hundred characters ... So I actually reached the six hundred , and in a few words I'm going to reach the seven hundred , oh it's done ! Now , my objective is the eigth hundred characters ... huh , la la la la ? ... What would I have to say ... OH , IT'S DONE !!! Ok , bye ...
