What is difference between Minecraft and Minecraft: Education Edition?

While the original game allows for free exploration and plays like a traditional game, Minecraft:
Education Edition is more of a platform for learning that is based on the popular game. Kids
playing this edition of Minecraft can learn a variety of coding, math, and problem-solving skills.

Is Minecraft good for kids?


As far as non-violent, educational games go, Minecraft is arguably one of the best. It can teach kids
the fundamentals of programming skills, teamwork, problem-solving, project management, and
offers a fantastic environment to foster creativity and “out of the box” thinking.

In this webinar on March 2nd at 4pm ET I’ll outline five social studies projects that utilize Google
Maps and Google Earth to help students make discoveries and to demonstrate what they’ve
learned. These projects can be adapted for use in elementary school (grades 3-5), middle school,
and high school settings.

What is Google Classroom?


Google Classroom is a suite of online tools that allows teachers to set assignments,
have work submitted by students, to mark, and to return graded papers. It, effectively,
was created as a way to get rid of paper in classes and to make digital learning
possible. It was initially planned for use with laptops in schools, such as Chromebooks,
in order to allow the teacher and students to more efficiently share information and
assignments.

As more schools have transitioned to online learning, Google Classroom has got far
wider use as teachers quickly implement paperless instruction. Classrooms works with
Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Sites, Earth, Calendar, and Gmail, and can be
supplemented by Google Hangouts or Meet for face-to-face live teaching or questions.
