Minecraft Education
Building empathy: An inside look at my classroom. What better way to teach WW1 than through the perspectives of the lives that lived it? Students got to build a virtual world and learned through self-direction and collaboration. They unleashed their creativity. In four weeks, I had a class full of military leaders, spies, nurses, doctors, and soldiers.
My students absolutely loved this unit, and loved showing off their virtual interpretations of history.
