If a few years ago we had been told that an exaggerated polygon construction game was going to be used to teach the youngest in the classroom, we would not have believed it at all. Is what is happening with Minecraft, that since it was bought by Microsoft It has not stopped growing in many aspects, especially the one we focus on today: education.
The iPad triumphs in the classroom
Microsoft is convinced that Minecraft can greatly help students feel interested in the STEM disciplines (in English science, technology, engineering and mathematics), so with the intention of reaching the maximum number of students possible they have had to directly attack the most successful device among classrooms: The iPad.
Apple's work offering resources and tools to schools is being incredible, so it is normal that its tablet is one of the products that collects the most interest among educational centers. With that in mind, Microsoft has not had a hard time choosing, so it has decided to release an iOS version of its Minecraft Education Edition.
A Minecraft designed to teach
This version of Minecraft will offer two different tools, one for teachers and one for students. They will not be in charge of creating content in the universe of blocks with which to pose tasks and exercises that students will have to complete. In this way, they have the opportunity to learn and review concepts at the same time as they play, either alone or as a team.
Just for back to school
Minecraft Education Edition It will arrive on the iPad just at the end of the holiday period, as it will appear in the App Store next September so that anyone interested can download it directly to the iPad.
