Dara Cepeda on 15 Mar 13Have you heard of Minecraft? I have heard students talk very enthusiastic about it, specially elementary and middle school students. Even some of my students have suggested to use minecraft as an educational tool. Minecraft is a sandbox game which allows players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D world. Watch this video and tell me if you think this could also be the teacher's ultimate multi-tool? If so, how can you implement it in a lesson?

albert rodriguez on 15 Apr 13I like Mindcraft.com, but my kids love Mindcraft.com. It's very useful for math. I heard of it from other teachers on campus and by the time I mentioned it to the students, many of them were familiar with it. It's a very useful tool.

Conrado Gonzalez on 01 May 13Very interesting. I have heard tons of things about Minecraft but haven't had the time to look into it. Thanks for the share as it is a very comprehensive intro to educational Minecraft.
