From DSC:
Wow! What a great way to grab someone’s attention, keep it, and then use that medium to teach someone something!  This approach made me wonder…

  • In what other ways could we use Minecraft for purposes of teaching and learning?
  • How could we use it in digital storytelling?
  • What sorts of creativity are fostered by using such an environment?
  • What’s a mod and how is one created for Minecraft?
