We all know the game Minecraft as just that- a game. But some teachers are taking it a step forward and using it in the classroom as a teaching tool. Whether it's building ancient roman villages or replicating tall skyscrapers, Minecraft is definitely taking teaching to a whole new level.
More and more teachers are using Minecraft now, and there's even a website for getting your school Minecraft, minecraftedu.com. Who knows whether Minecraft will end up just as a game to play in your spare time, or something you have to do for homework (Gosh, wouldn't that be fun!), but either way, it will and already is revolutionizing the video game field and what we think of them.
