1. Science: Whether creating a 3D tour of the human heart or measuring gravity’s effect on sand, Minecraft can be used to teach scientific concepts and to perform experiments.
2. Math: Concepts like fractions can be modeled in 3D so that students see the results of subdividing 100 square feet of land. Children can learn about structures, shapes, and angles by building them firsthand.
3. English: Minecraft lets the player be a storyteller, building and shaping their own world. Students can visit or even construct their own models of the worlds they read about in novels.
4. History: Students can participate in recreated simulations of famous events or engage in the discovery of ancient civilizations and history brought to life in a virtual reality.
5. Art and Architecture: Sophisticated building tools and techniques can be used to design structures and landscapes, allowing the user to develop skills translatable to 3D modeling in the real world.
6. Economics: In multiplayer mode, players can create complex economies, opening their own shops to sell goods. Before long, they’re learning concepts like supply and demand.
7. Language: The immersive fastpaced experience of Minecraft allows users to develop language and typing skills, especially for non-native speakers.
8. Social Skills: Building structures with others — whether with fellow students or students across the globe — strengthens communication skills and teaches collaboration.
9. Geography: Exploring the various landscapes strengthens topography skills, and students can learn about mapping and navigation by creating their own compass and maps within the world.
10. Technology: Redstone allows players to build circuit components from scratch and design complex working models of anything from a light switch to a calculator or a super computer.

Minecraft is a construction game in which players mine, break, build, and manipulate various types of blocks in a three-dimensional environment.

• Join your child online in navigating, building, and applying subtle learning techniques to their gaming experience.
• Offer assignments, like making a working house from scratch, or exploring a region in search of animal life.
• Discuss your child’s experience in the world of Minecraft, who they interacted with, what they saw, and what they built.
• Suggest keeping a daily journal to list accomplishments and goals.

Available in over 20 languages, and used in classrooms in more than 115 countries, Minecraft Education opens the door to creativity and new possibilities for students and educators to build 3D designs and interactive worlds. For instance, students designed a roller-coaster tour of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens for the Minecraft Innovation Project by the Department of Education in Australia.

Minecraft Education includes built-in accessibility features such as the integration of Microsoft Immersive Reader, which allows text to be read aloud, translated, and converted into a picture dictionary. The game can be played in single-player mode and multiplayer mode, inviting social learning. There is also an add-on Classroom Mode, designed to aid teachers in virtual classroom management.

Minecraft Education initially requires time to master, but rewards this investment by giving students more voice and choice in a flexible environment that supports inclusion and builds collaborative competencies and problem-solving skills. Everyone wins in this game.

June 2021 UPDATE: Microsoft launched a Minecraft Education Edition Teacher Academy, which consists of eleven courses about how to use Minecraft Education Edition for teaching and learning. Upon completing the courses, teachers can become a Microsoft Certified Teacher and receive a digital badge.

• Survival — after randomly being spawned in a new world, players have to try to survive by gathering material, building shelter, gaining experience, and fighting off hostile mobs.
• Creative — a game mode where players have immediate access to almost all blocks and items, are invulnerable and immune to death, and have the ability to fly. The purpose of this game mode is to create/design unique worlds.
• Adventure — players interact with objects (levers, buttons) and mobs to complete an adventure.

Follow these steps to make 1 block of glass:

• Break a block of sand, and pick it up by walking over it.

  You can use regular or red sand — the kind of sand you choose doesn’t have an effect on the glass itself.

• Mine coal and pick it up.

• Go back to your house, and then right-click on the furnace to access it.

  You use the furnace to smelt sand into glass.

• Place the sand in the top box and the coal in the bottom box.

• Wait until the sand is smelted, and then take the glass that appears.
