Minecraft has recently taken a new direction: Minecraft education edition. It may seem unreasonable having Minecraft in class, but I can assure you, it is a good program. You can easily get an account, and the best part is that you can do more than just the normal Minecraft! If you go to subject kits, you will find that it`s filled with Math, Science, English and more!   

If you feel like this would be a good thing to put in classrooms, then watch out for instructions later in the article! Not yet convinced. Continue reading! Did you know that Minecraft helps to develop decision making skills? Because when you need to do something, you need to do it! Minecraft Education Edition also helps with the environmental skills. Have you ever been in a ‘old’ Minecraft world? You have limited resources, so it helps you learn to use real resources wisely.  

One thing that Minecraft Education Edition helps with well is getting students involved, as they will be excited!
