A Parent’s Guide to Minecraft: 5 Reasons to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Cubes

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

I was, of course, a noob about to die inside Minecraft. Calling Minecraft a game doesn’t do it justice; Available on nearly every device where games can be played, from computers and consoles to smartphones, Minecraft boasts more than 100 million registered players, many of them barely out of kindergarten. Minecraft worlds are made up of chunky graphics reminiscent of the earliest video games.

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

This is a Minecraft household! It’s good to read the many benefits of Minecraft, which can be used for both e-learning and m-learning (as it’s available for desktop and mobile devices, although my son, the expert of the family, says the desktop experience is much richer and shuns the mobile version). Love the cubes!
