6 MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM 6 "GAME-BASED LEARNING FITS IN VERY WELL WITH MEETING STUDENTS WHERE THEY ARE. THEY'RE PLAYING GAMES AT HOME, USING DIGITAL DEVICES, AND NAVIGATING VIRTUAL WORLDS, SO THEY'RE ALREADY VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS." Steven Messner

7 MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM 7 THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP I CAN GIVE YOU IS STAY OUT OF THE WAY AND LET STUDENTS DRIVE THE CLASS, RATHER THAN STRICTLY FOLLOWING YOUR SET PLANS. KIDS NEED TIME TO PLAY, EXPLORE, INQUIRE AND CREATE THEIR LONG-TERM DESIGN PROJECTS. Pike and Lamb

8 MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM 8 NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH GAMIFICATION, GAME BASED LEARNING (GBL) IS THE PROCESS OF USING GAMES TO ACHIEVE A DEFINED SET OF LEARNING OUTCOMES. Steven Johnson

9 MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM 9 DON T TELL MY KIDS, BUT MINECRAFT IS A MATHEMATICAL GAME. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, A QUICK GLANCE WILL CONFIRM THIS. THE GAME CAN HELP DEVELOP OR DEEPEN A CHILD S SPACIAL AWARENESS AND SKILLS. BUILDING AND CREATING WITH MINECRAFT REQUIRES A SOLID GRASP OF SYMMETRY. Amy Landisman

10 MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM 10 "MINECRAFT IS USEFUL IN THE CLASSROOM BECAUSE YOU CAN USE IT FOR PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU WANT," THALKAR SAID. "THAT S THE BEAUTY OF THE WAY THE GAME WAS DESIGNED AND HOW OPEN ENDED IT IS. IF YOU WANT TO USE IT FOR SOMETHING FOR MATH OR FOR SCIENCE YOU CAN, EITHER JUST BY USING THE GAME ITSELF OR BY MODIFYING IT." Anthony Perez
