Implement Minecraft in your classroom with Microsoft Education

Written by Evelyn Alas

Starting this tuesday, march 15, Microsoft will be conducting a series of workshops for Spanish-speaking teachers in Latin America. These sessions will offer practical training for teachers to learn basic Minecraft concepts that will allow them to understand how to incorporate this tool into the classroom, as well as how to design immersive and innovative projects where students can become engineers, designers or coders.

Minecraft: Education Edition is an open-world video game that promotes creativity, collaboration and problem solving in an immersive environment where imagination is the only limit. Ideal for K-12 students to increase their curiosity and confidence in technology, it can be a key tool for improving student learning outcomes.
