Minecraft isn’t just cubes and Zombies, it is a digital tool that can be used to enhance student engagement with meaningful connections to the curriculum. This webinar will explain how the idea of Game Based Learning, specifically in the virtual sandbox known as Minecraft, can help build critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students from Grades 3 and up.  The world of Minecraft provides a rich environment for problem and project based learning in all areas of the Ontario curriculum and multi-player options open up additional opportunities to communicate and collaborate with peers.
