Love you minecraft, love!
As a teacher, I believe we can use games to supplement real lessons…but we cant lose site of the real strategies that engage students’ minds. But we are also in a major shift here where kids are more tied in to tech than anyone ever has…so we as teachers may need to adapt and do some research to see what actually produces results…even if playing minecraft can somehow teach a chilkd this or that
