As educators struggle with keeping students engaged while learning remotely, here’s a chance to meet kids where they already are.

“There are a lot of questions and a lot of uncertainty,” Quarnstrom says. “My hope is that a tool like Minecraft that is adaptable will help provide some stability.”

I knew it was only a matter of time for a game like Minecraft seeking to innovate in the education sector. However, it is inspiring to see more emphasis on how to refocus our energies with education. As clearly, the one size-fits-all factory-like tradition of education is in need for a vast change.

I am going to be curious how the remote/in-person education will be integrated with one another in a post-covid world. Perhaps with the increasing digitization educators will be able to better personalize students education, while still having the benefits of an education in-person.
