Please find the link to a webinar about how three technology integration teachers used minecraftEDU. January 31st is the last day this version is supported for the hosting. I am trying to download all of my worlds now.
This is from 2015, but ideas are still applicable today for elementary and ELL students.
Don Carroll had asked about different versions of MC... now the Minecraft for Education Edition is what schools need to use. Each student and teacher account is tied to an office 365 account and it costs $5 per student per year. There are some new features for teachers, but there is also less customization opportunity for teachers as this is a locked down version of MC. I had an account, but when my work email went away, i could no longer log into it. Would like to check it out more, but a teacher account must be tied to a school from what Microsoft has said. Anyone use MCEE? Thoughts?

I had meant to alert you to the live event yesterday, but at least there is an archive of a Classroom 2.0 presentation on MinecraftEDU with Laura Briggs (@LauraBTRT), Kim Harrison (@k4sons) and Trish Cloud (@trishcloud) sharing their experiences and stories about how they are engaging their students with MinecraftEDU both during the school day and in an after school club and summer camp. MinecraftEDU is a special version of Minecraft designed specifically for classroom use. It has been used to teach a wide range of subjects and is designed to be open-ended which allows content to be built around any subject area. Teachers have used the game to teach history, math, art, programming, creative writing, science, music, digital citizenship and more! It hosts a library of lessons and activities that are available for free and there is an active teacher community exploring and sharing uses of Minecraft in the classroom.
