What is MinecraftEDU?
MinecraftEdu is built on the same technology as the commercial edition of Minecraft and contains the same gameplay, items, and graphics included by Mojang. However, MinecraftEdu is a separate edition of Minecraft that includes additional features that optimize the experience for classroom use. Like the commercial edition of Minecraft, MinecraftEdu includes client software that the individual players use as well as multi-player server software, but the MinecraftEdu client software will not work with a standard Minecraft server and vice versa.

Forms will need to be completed at the first class. After, instructions for the day will be given by the instructor.  Students will need to have an IP address to log into the MinecraftEDU class for the evening. This IP address will be provided by the instructor.

Once gaming begins, students will need to use the program to work together to complete the assignments. Chat features will be suspended from students who use them inappropriately which may drastically change the difficulty level of the course.

​**All students need to be able to read at a 3rd grade level unless accompanied by an adult.
