Teacher Review for Minecraft

Minecraft is an interesting way to get your students to create and interact with their own worlds.

How I Use It
Minecraft was loved by my students because it allows them to create their own worlds and explore different places. It kept my students quiet and gave them the freedom to create what they wanted. Students love this app.
My Take
As a teacher, I find it difficult for my students to learn from using this program. There is no true end goal to the game so they just spend their time creating what they want on their own (this can be a good thing sometimes). I think that this is a fun game but it is not really helpful when trying to teach the children a lesson, it is great for recess and free time though!
