 Kids should use Minecraft in school Hello my name is Andy and I want video games in school because I believe that it will impact the way of education and develop students performance.How can video games benefit people? Video games can feed you with good information which will benefit your life? Did you know that video games could help people overcome dyslexia according to laparoscopic surgeons? With concentration too they can help us with thinking skills and reading. Also, you can be social and learn more about communication and collaboration through online interactions. Video games can also help you have a future career. them down sometimes. Games can also boost your memory they laparoscopic surgeons also found out that video games may slow the aging process. Minecraft is an open world game where you can roam around and do missions (sandbox game) about exploration and building. It’s kind of like Legos, you can craft and build and other things. So if you think that Legos are educational Minecraft can mean the same thing. But Minecraft is better, Minecraft can save you more money , for example, in Legos you have limited blocks in Minecraft in creative “mode”you have unlimited blocks. This game also connects to real life. Minecraft teaches creativity and can help prepare you to have a career like an architect, designer, engineer etc… Additionally, Minecraft may be an electronic device but you can be social and so it can teach communication skills. There's also Minecraftedu, Minecraft for school. This was made to make school more fun and there are many ways we can use it. I will tell you more about this below.How we can use Minecraftedu? There are many ways! We can use it in languages, we can build landmarks of the country or change the Minecraft language To talk in another language we are learning. Minecraft can help teach ICT skills and coding, in the “Add Ons” there are lots of mods like computercraft where you can code. In art we can build something in 3d or 2d and you can build it with your friends. In math we can solve problems, for example, if you are in survival mode you can solve how many blocks you need to make your house. And in drama you can make a play or write a script about the play. How do we know that kids are going to do work instead of fooling around? There is a answer to it their is a server and teachers have control over it and they can ban people from it and unblock people. Their is a mode called Adventure where you can't destroy and build blocks that can ensure you that work is going to be done Many people like fun games like Minecraft and some are addicted. I know that many kids like Minecraft, in fact it was voted most addictive game in 2015. When we got the Minecraft handbooks in the ISU library, which was about 6 months ago, many people you had to be lucky if you go to check one out from the library. In fact, the library had to get a new set because so many people wanted it! Conclusion: I think that we should use minecraft in the classroom because it is educational and it can benefit people in many ways and expand their way of understanding Source : Parker, Clifton “Stanford research shows pitfalls of homework” Stanford research shows pitfalls of homework.
