I would pay some mad money to get to that school...
***** No I do I just think it would be more fun as a curriculum
+DreamSoundGaming me too
I would, pay 0 dollars to get this school but if u could play gta 5 in school mad bucks I will pay mad money to get in the school
Same
And what’s wrong with Mac?
Let them play survival if you want them to think its fun, sure creative is fun at first but it gets boring easily. Survival opens a whole new field of learning for how to solve problems, and needing to gather materials to get places
Also if you lets them in survival the they will learn how to work together to actually get somewhere in the game.
***** not for elementary students, i mean a lan yes but not a public server where people can say whatever they want
I Cant Decide 1
not if pvp is off, and besides killing each other in minecraft wont promote violence or anything lol
My sister love creative than survival
they are studying not doing adventure
“Because it smells like school” atleast there’s some teacher that understands how we feel and how we want to go home and play Minecraft.
Not gonna lie Minecraft taught me a lot of problem solving especially through command blocks
Ikr, by playing Minecraft my grades really got higher in math, science, and arts, this is a gaming education at its finest
@@unknownpalooza8475 I also play minecraft but how did it improve your maths science and arts
True man
@@Egg-wt1pk buildings, command blocks, item management, block countings and stuff, redstone, etc
Fun fact : minecraft is the only game where we can do anything . There are many things like building , surviving , making invention by redstone appliences , fighting and many more . We can also learn chemistry by minecraft educational edition . And mod and addons make it add more things . So minecraft is the best game in the whole world
UA-cam Or Gaming School would be AMAZING!
Vasil Petrushev gaming school is a thing but you would still go to school
@@offical_alexiliexxmlgvoidk8344 what's bad about going to school
Now it's 2020 and my hometown has a E-Sport course that you can take for 3-5 years.. (basically gaming school)
Gaming school
Gaming school
anyone else was a kid and watched this? I was so jealous that time :( the nostalgia of the gold old young school days.
Yea man
i wanna go to that school minecraft is my favotite game
Is it still ?😢
@@melskid3632 so what if it isn't? You should never be sad of people's opinions
I been playing for a week and I upsessed
my school had a club where you could play minecraft at lunch, and all you could hear in the room was kids shouting to each other to "put them in creative". and the game Is considered educational.
We are actually about to start doing this In my tech class thanks for making this
I got my Teacher to let us play Minecraft. 5 hours with Minecraft every week I’m pretty proud of myself.
I wish this game should be our computer lab in school
I'd LOVE this at my school.
Can I join your school?
Hehhe
Imagine... That only kid that skipped school
Lol
We now: ‘ building earth in Minecraft’
I wish my school was like this, fun in our teachers minds is quizez and reviewing
I use Minecraft for some of my assignments it makes it really fun and gives a unique twist to it
Minecraft Can Do A lot Of Things To Describe Minecraft (Awesome) (Infinity) (Adventure) (And Work For Your Goal) (The Infinity World) It's some how a very competitive but kid friendly game
:D My school is now going to start using this! This is AWESOME! Tho I don't think it has much use for 10th grade and up, oh well.
Wow! They are learning and using the concepts.
before this was a things in classes I remember playing with friends in class pretty fun to
maybe you could let the kids host LAN worlds they could play with their friends on?
It would also be better if they could play on servers, but you should turn their chat off.
Amagin playing Minecraft in school all day that’s what we do already at home
Wow so cool! Nice video! I wish my teacher would do that. (;
you guys are the best school I love you.
i wish i go to a school like that learning while playing minecraft sounds kinda fun :3
My teacher let us play minecraft and we had to study all the different biomes, build our own mountains and waterfalls and make a mini project out of it.
i wish every school in the world lets students and teachers play minecraft and what if u added a mod into the game like city mod
the school I go to needs this
Im gonna move to this school... if my mom lets me
my mom is thinking about it :D
This needs to happen!
I wish I had minecraft in my school
I need this in my school
in minecraft when you get to the wery deeps of minecraft, you begin to ask yourself:
how many goals can you realy make in minecraft? and when I asked myself more and more I relised: that is not a question. That is the answer.
Notch the creater of minecraft, he said this way back in 2011: "the main goal is to kill the enderdragon but your goal may be different from others, that is the beauty of minecraft. Your goal is all up to you." so this is the conclusion: the game is an nerver ending quest for goals and creation that YOU choose.
so I ask you this: "what do YOU want to DO?" and then you will travel a long way, I promise, and remember:
YOU choose, what you want to do. what do YOU want to do?
This is beautiful I would have a place to show of my builds
i need this in my school
man i hope some day i get to use minecraft as a education tool.
Aw I wish my school lets us play Minecraft
I'm planning to write a paper on the role of MineCraft in educaton context in ELT process. How can I contact you?
you know what's funny there about to start doing this in my school
Lucky
Lucky you
are they on lan or they have there own server? and are they using there own mc accs or they brought it? or are they allowed to use theres?
I wish we use minecraft at school and this will encourage more people to go to school.
Blue Gamer i was thinking the same thing
this school probably implements creativity, not like others
What i believe is that math for example, its not all about logic, some things are about creativity too
hey edu if u wana help how about your help get that program at my school
I wish this is in our everyday classes
yea
I know Minecraft Edu version wasn’t released till 2016 but my middle school used Minecraft Edu! Now I wish my Highschool can either use Minecraft or Minecraft Edu
This is the first time i see a school using minecraft
This is how online class should be
This school. Is amazing I need to get there
Now this is my dream school
How can Minecraft teach ? I understand that it can teach if you write codes or do redstone systems, but except that I think that this is more kind of a drug; myself I love minecraft and I'm a pro (in minecraft PE), but it can't be a big help for the kids once their getting on their own life.
where is this place i want to play too :)
i remember one time i had to build a community in a game and my bff and i chose minecraft! it was soooo fun but i couldnt record with her.
Where did u go to be able to play that game on the computer?
Arianna Marmolejos u need to buy it
This put smile on my face
You know what i do at school, do math. yay.
If our school use minecraft then 😍
I wish we had that in school
I hope there is a day when it comes like the Coronavirus where we actually use Minecraft as a school like go into a server learn College Maybe that would be cool
YES that would be amazing especially if we were able to creatively build without people being able to grief
I NEED THIS
this is one thing im better at teaching than proper teachers
aonde é essa cidade quero mura lá pra joga minecraft na escola o.O que enveja dles podd joga até na escola
i wish my school was like this
I am sending this to my principal sir
MineCraft is a powerful tool, even past High school.
I learned a lot of digital logic and plenty of other science through Minecraft.
I don't understand why you are so convinced that Minecraft is not a powerful learning tool.
Can you explain how Binary works and is ran through a calculator? Before Minecraft I had no idea. Now I understand what a Full Adder, Shift Register, Decoder and many other parts are.
Minecraft isn't the only way to learn about this and other sciences, but it is one of many ways to, and it's rather fantastic at it.
There is so many other realms of science you can easily explore in Minecraft. It doesn't mean you must stop learning once you reach the games limits. It gets your foot in the door and inspires you to dig deeper.
Awesome video. The brilliance behind this game is it's limits- which is nothing. Any advice on best ways to convince administration to get on board with this?
Imagine redstone be used in technology class
How are they using it for learning???
I Wish Have This On My School
PLEASE MAKE EVERY SCHOOL DO MINECRAFT!!
Now I wanna go to that school o..o
+Kirshy ! You don't.
@@darlol338 why lol. why wouldnt he want
Now I want to go to this school
Hello from 2020, the game is very popular now :)
I will show this video to my parents because I am lover of minecraft . I already playing mobile pocket edition
i never knew that we where one of the only schools to play minecraft
inside
I want to go to that school!!!!!!!
I hope minecraft would be in my school too :) they say that minecraft is for kids, but all that I do is ignoring them and play with my 6th grade friends! :D
Thats Right Kids Need To Learn With Games
Personally I've learnt so much from minecraft literally wither it was from items or tools or even my English has improved obviously and I really wish they use it in schools as a teaching method....
CrazierBUT CoOlerGURL my english improved aswell
Cure of all school depression
I wish I was in this type of school
Wow thats awasome
Even though my teacher is strict, we dont have games we go on maths :(
We're is this school I want to go to it?!
frankly it seems definitely appealing for kids to play this game, we all know for sure the conventional schools had produced brilliant scientists and engineers, nobel prizes...etc using new technologies has taken the learning experience to the next level with all the content available to learn from - BUT playing a 3D game for learning even if it is minecraft will never replace a well "structured" educational game carefully designed buy professionals + yo kids watch out for your comfort, with lengthy exposition to low fps and 3D rendered graphics scenes you may end-up hurting your eyes, stiff neck or neck pain and even headaches! and more importantly reading some reviews on google, some parents went seriously alarmed about their kids developing violent behavior and selfishness after starting to play this game regularly.
there is a Website called abcya that has all kind of games that are educational
does it teach common sense? actually working together? does abcya teach social skills? no. m y class needs this terrib ly badly .
That's smart
Ok,now this is a school
Why can't school just be all minecraft then u do lessons in the game
I mean more students will like it and complete there
Homework sand pretty much get less detention and will focus
I. Mean learning in minecraft. Just makes life easier
***** me
How about.... and yeah I know it might sound weird but it is just a idea....... books and papers, kids take a pen and write on it and they will learn it the old school way.
Our school has this
How many times were minecraft said in this video
Very good :)
It's sad to see that this video show us only how kid are taught how to play Minecraft.
I really wanted to see how Mincraft is used as an education tool and what the kids are learning with it, and mostly why it can be include in a school program.
Yeah, same.
I wish I was in that school
All school have to use Minecraft
all these old Macs = 10,000$ new Macs in class = 25,000$
I wish I went to this school
IS THAT A MARIO ? BLOCK AT THE START? I'M A FAN OF MARIO~! :D
Yeah it is
OMG is that amazing school and playing game minecraft is that game my favorite
