Playing to Learn with Minecraft https://bit.ly/1BnEWFI Sit down at lunch with young students of any age and ask them what they did that morning in their classroom. They will probably give you a matter-of-fact answer, usually without much enthusiasm. But mention the word “Minecraft,” and watch them come alive. Suddenly, their eyes get big and they sit up tall; you know you have their attention.
How can we harness students’ energy for games like this and leverage it in the classroom?
A number of teachers are beginning to use Minecraft in their classrooms. Some use stand-alone apps on iPads, while others create their own Minecraft world using a desktop computer as a server. It is difficult, however, for teachers to do this without support from their district or principal.

Massively Jokaydia : Minecraft Guild for Kids + Parents http://massively.jokaydia.com/ Massively Jokaydia : Minecraft Guild for Kids + Parents
Our project is designed for kids aged 4-16yrs who are interested in gaining digital media skills, exploring their creativity and developing online social skills.
We are currently using the video game Minecraft to support a safe, whitelisted server and a range of activities which encourage kids to choose their own playful learning pathways and adventures.
Our guild was founded in mid 2011 for kids and parents, using game-theory and our experience of developing communities of practice in virtual worlds. The game-world and Guild is personally funded by Jo Kay – Director, jokaydia.com, with a little help from kind donations. We have over 900 registered players from around the world.
Massively @ jokaydia runs on a whitelisted, multiplayer Minecraft server. We have several ‘maps’ for kids inworld, along with this Guild portal which provides them with both a community space and a project based learning oriented awards system.
There is no teaching or lessons allowed in the game in the way people might think about a learning game. Kids and adults are free to explore ideas following the social charter that sets out the Guild’s expectations on how to be a productive, positive player in our community.
Our server is secure and only accessible to approved players via our whitelist. We run regular supervised open sessions for ‘guests’, however at all other times players are white-listed into the game space to ensure security.

The eight members of TeamCrafted — a confederacy of YouTubers who record videos that mostly just show themselves chatting and joking with each other while messing around in the game’s expansive virtual worlds — are bigger than, well, just about anything.

Two quick ways to secure your Minecraft server https://bit.ly/19KXvsf Two quick ways to secure your Minecraft server
As Minecraft continues to storm through the world of gaming, education and everywhere else, one thing is for certain: everybody wants to create their own server!
In the rush to be the ruler of their own world, many gamers and teachers forget to secure their Minecraft servers from unwanted visitors who could destroy (aka grief) your builds.
Fortunately, securing your Minecraft server is as easy as activating the server white-list and installing a server wrapper, like Craftbukkit. This post will show you how to do just that.

Buiding Minecraft renditions of real-life objects is tedious work, but it doesn't have to be. An upcoming iOS app called DekkoScan lets you create a 3D rendering of practically any real-life item, then import the model into the computer version of Minecraft.

Minecraft Class http://minecraftclass.blogspot.com/ Minecraft Class
Los Angeles-area middle school students use Minecraft to create a world, and in the process explore the world around them.
Minecraft Math https://bit.ly/Z9StO9 Minecraft Math
A few weeks ago, I searched for Minecraft and the best option for bringing it into the classroom. Keep in mind, I have no money and my team has no money and the school has no money. So, I settled on the Minecraft Demo from PCGamer.com. It's free! And timed! Fifth graders can't run off and build a castle instead of working on the project.
After the last benchmark, I needed to review our weak topics, but I didn't have to make it boring. I scoured the web for Minecraft activities, found several high school level lessons and lists for other subjects, and became impatient. So, I came up with my own activities. Six of them.
Minecraft: Pi Edition now available https://bit.ly/VTkYC1 Minecraft: Pi Edition now available, gives you something to play on your Raspberry Pi
You may already have Minecraft on your computer, your Xbox 360, and your smartphone, but now you can get a version that was specifically ported to run well on the Raspberry Pi. If you’re one of those people that really want a Raspberry Pi but have no idea what to do with one once you get it, making it a dedicated $35 Minecraft machine is now a viable option.
We Took a Field Trip to the Minecraft School http://kotaku.com/5803138/we-took-a-field-trip-to-the-minecraft-school We Took a Field Trip to the Minecraft School
My colleague Matt Toder and I visited a second-grade class that is being taught—mostly during school hours—how to play Minecraft. We'd heard about it and read about it. We had to see it.
In the video, you'll mostly see the second-grade classes, who are mostly led through the lessons. You'll also briefly see some footage of a mansion being built. That's what the fourth-graders and other after school kids made in no time flat, after voting on what to build together (technically they mashed up two ideas: mansion and water park).

Whether you use it in a computer/gaming club, as part of your regular curricular instruction, or even at home with your own children, Minecraft's simple yet scalable "sandbox" virtual environment can be an excellent tool for engaging student learning.
The open-ended nature of the game lends it to application in a variety of subject areas. Game-based learning, virtual worlds, and simulations are emerging tools for reaching our learners.

Minecraft https://www.minecraft.net/en-us Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine.
At night monsters come out, make sure to build a shelter before that happens. It also has music by C418!
Over 44 million people have registered and over seven million people bought the game.
I strongly believe that all good stories have a conflict, and that all good games tell a good story regardless of if it's pre-written or emergent.
Free building mode is fine and dandy, but for many people it will ultimately become boring once you've got it figured out. It's like playing a first person shooter in god mode, or giving yourself infinite funds in a strategy game.. a lack of challenge kills the fun.
For survival mode, I'd rather make the game too difficult than too easy. That also means I'm going to have to include some way of winning the game (or some other climax) to prevent it becoming too exhausting.
