I mean, Minecraft is cool, but is it just a distraction? How do you even measure learning in a game? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: #SeriousQuestion

Anyone tried using Minecraft for teaching astronomy? My class built a solar system and now they walk around like mini Neil deGrasse Tysons. :joy::rocket:

Minecraft Earth Day challenge: my school used it to teach sustainability. Kids got more eco-conscious building virtual green cities than in any lecture. :seedling: #GreenBlocks

We need to get more teachers on board, tho. Some still think Minecraft is just a game. :unamused_face:

Build challenges are the best! Set a theme, give them a week. Creativity levels go through the roof. :rocket:

Hey teachers, consider Minecraft’s ‘Global Build Challenge.’ It’s an epic way to get students to collab worldwide. :globe_showing_europe_africa::flexed_biceps:

End of the day, it’s about engagement. Engage them and they’ll learn. Minecraft’s just one tool in the box. :wrench:
