Today I learned about minecraft. I always heard about it from my past students, but have never tried it before. If fact, I always told my students to leave minecraft at the door, and talk about it after class, but after trying it today, I realized that there are so many amazing applications for it in the classroom. Students can play together and collaborate. Teachers can run an instructors platform where they can limit certain functions and enable others. There are different worlds, and so many possibilities.

Edutopia has some fantastic uses for it in schools:
