Minecraft in the Classroom
"Marianne Malmstrom talks about how she is bringing what students are doing in digital worlds outside of school into a classroom context, informing teacher practice and keeping classrooms relevant. Introducing Minecraft and a 24/7 server provided students a safe space to play, highlighted their digital agility, and showed the dissonance between teacher expectations of digital literacies and the realities of student skills and understandings. This dissonance provides an impetus for creating learning partnerships, where students can have some autonomy and agency over their learning."
