Minecraft for Education

Hey!

Have you heard of gamifying your classroom? It's the idea of transforming your classroom through gaming! Minecraft is a phenomenal tool to add to your classroom! I created a project that asked students to re-create an ancient city and add modern technology to it. Minecraft was the perfect tool for the jobs and my students fell in love with this project! It brought a whole new level of entertainment, engagement, and a deeper learning to my classroom! Check out my lesson plan and a student's Minecraft project below!

My tutorial includes instructions on how to get Add-ons, how to create Pear Deck Slides, and how to present using Pear Deck.
