strategy based game for students that allows various levels of participation.

My overall opinion on using this resource as a teaching tool is that it is nearly perfect. It can keep the students engaged in a never-ending sandbox where they can create whatever they desire. All the teacher needs to do is to be the bridge that allows them to connect the two. Even long after the camp was over, the kids I know who were programming within Minecraft were still looking up different lines of code to write in order to make different and more complicated things within the video game. What's interesting is that some people even use this opportunity to make money and create different actions for other players to enjoy. There is an applicable sense to the idea of creating new programs in Minecraft. It's great that students want to go out of their way to work on this project, to the point where homework doesn't even feel like homework anymore. And as a teacher, when the students are actively engaged and want to learn more about the topic, that's all you can ask for as a teacher.

I truly Minecraft is a game that appeals to every student due to the freedom and creativity the game promotes. It teaches students how to collaborate and interact together to solve problems. The game even has complex engineering systems to allow students to create whatever they can imagine.

I love the graphics and the way the app is set up. It really gives you the ability to create whatever is in your mind, which is awesome.
