Description

This workshop offers a personal look into four years of using Minecraft Education in media literacy classes at primary and secondary schools. Many people only know Minecraft as a game – I aim to show how it can become a practical learning tool that supports creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, and digital skills.

The workshop is intended for anyone interested in how Minecraft can be used meaningfully in education or how teaching works inside an open sandbox environment.

Topics

Why I use Minecraft as an educational tool
Concrete experiences from real classrooms
Setup and technical requirements
Funding options available to schools
What Minecraft Education is and how it differs from other versions
Open Q&A and peer exchange

Note on proprietary software

Minecraft Education is proprietary and owned by Microsoft. This is a valid point of debate within the Chaos community. I will explain why I chose it for school settings, what alternatives I have considered, and where open solutions currently reach their limits. The goal is a transparent, experience-based discussion rather than product promotion.

Format: Short input and open discussion
