Play and Learn with Minecraft Education Edition

My name is Cathy Cheo-Isaacs I’m really excited to spend the afternoon with you. Today what we’re gonna Do is a Museum of Me. The kids are going to create a museum highlighting things they like, things that are important in their life Things that matter using Minecraft. So, this is my family

They’re important to me, and I like to draw so I put a lot of paintings They were so excited about entering a museum world and we don’t get that all the time. What this allowed them to do is think about themselves. We get to explore and make so many different kind of things

To show what we are This was an opportunity for us to extend museum day to everyone and to really do something deeper in Education & with kids. Microsoft was a perfect partner for us to work with and Minecraft was a natural tool

Minecraft is actually giving them the sense that it is a game But actually it’s not. They get to learn and play at the same time For me I was a technology teacher. The thing

I loved about it is that there’s intrinsic motivation if there’s something they don’t know how to do they go out and figure it out Minecraft in the classroom has the potential to be invaluable.
