Today as a class we had the opportunity to be taught by a group of grade eight students and their teacher how to use mine craft. I have never played this game before but I do have some experience with other first person video games and other computer games. We began with a tutorial where we had to problem solve, build, dig, climb, and work with others. I was impressed how quick I picked it up and was one of the first people to make it to the end. I’m a very competitive person so I was happy with myself and how quickly I learned. Until we were able to make it a free for all, then I had no idea how to create objects, plant trees, or craft materials. I ended up getting confused and lost. I believe with more practice and time I will become more comfortable with it. The teacher explained how she uses Minecraft in class for science, math, social studies, and team building. It increases community and communication in the classroom. The students explained how they learned from having Minecraft in class and how much fun it makes learning. It was interesting to be taught by students but I loved listening to their advice and lessons. As a future teacher, I would love to implement this tool into my classroom. I’m curious how young this tool would be  acceptable to introduce to. As a teacher, I want to do more research and become more comfortable first.
