MINECRAFT: Education Edition is an open world game that promotes
creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in an immersive
environment where the only limit is your imagination. Students live in
a digital world already, and MINECRAFT: Education Edition is a way to
bring the classroom and curriculum to them, in an environment they
know an enjoy. It is the same MINECRAFT EXPERIENCE MANY STUDENTS ENJOY
AND PLAY ALREADY, but with some additional capabilities to enable
student collaboration in the classroom, and support educators to
deliver lessons and learning activities within the game. It is
designed for students to play together – whether that’s working in
teams to solve a problem or collaborating as an entire class to
master learning activities. Children learn naturally through a
combination of observation, trial-and-error, and play-based practice.
An open learning environment like MINECRAFT ENCOURAGES INDEPENDENCE
AND SELF-direction, allowing students the freedom to experiment and
challenge themselves. Because MINECRAFT: Education Edition is a
flexible platform for learning, educators are able to map projects and
activities directly to specific learning outcomes and Victorian
Curriculum standards. During this one-day, face-to-face workshop, you
will: • receive an overview of MINECRAFT: Education Edition; •
learn to play the game; • access curriculum and classroom resources
you can take back to your classroom; • Develop the skills to
confidently facilitate MINECRAFT IN YOUR CLASSROOM. Participants will
engage in immersive learning activities that will build a strong
understanding of how MINECRAFT: Education Edition can improve
instruction and meet the learning needs of students. What will the
