Homework students will VOLUNTEER to complete at home.
Community Review for Minecraft
My Take
I think this is a wonderful teaching tool with a seemingly endless number of applications. Students love the open-world concept of "vanilla" Minecraft, but also can have subjects like Reading, science, math, history and more bring about a level of understanding that other methods may not work as well or at all. Basic concepts for Programming can be used to build an interest in that field.
As varied as students are, so are the ways to use MEE or "vanilla Minecraft. Students can even reinforce this at home driven by their efforts and motivation.
How I Use It
I supported teachers who had students who were already interested in Minecraft. We used that interest to build lessons in various subjects to reinforce concepts and even to start concepts the students previously were not engaged in. We could not enforce this at home, but in class, it worked very well.
