This week, to the joy of my little ones, we tried Minecraft. I learnt how to make a new skin so that I didn’t look the same as the person sitting next to me. I planted some flowers and destroyed some walls. There are some lessons plans available for using Minecraft in the classroom and discovered the IT lab is open to bring groups of students for learning too. I see Minecraft as a Lego building type activity, which is fun and very accessible for almost all ages.
