Guide for Educators

Promote creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in
an immersive environment where the only limit is your
imagination.
“We owe it to our students to bring what they’re
passionate about into our classrooms.”
Minecraft: Education Edition brings the classroom and curriculum to students in an environment
they are already comfortable with. It offers the same Minecraft experience many students enjoy
already, but with some additional capabilities that enable them to collaborate in the classroom, as
well as support for educators to deliver learning activities within the game. Now with Code Builder,
students can connect to popular learn-to-code platforms like Scratch, Tynker, and Microsoft’s
MakeCode to develop creative coding within the game.
▪

Collaboration M:EE is designed so that students can work in teams to solve problems, or as a
whole class to master challenges within the game. Engaging in collaborative work teams and
learning environments that foster cooperation in the classroom helps prepare students for
their futures.

▪

Creativity People learn naturally through a combination of observation, trial and error, and playbased practice. An open-learning environment like Minecraft allows students the freedom to
experiment and challenge themselves. Much like in real life, there are no step-by-step instructions
— students must try, fail, and try again to achieve the result they want.

▪

Rigor To create a fully inclusive classroom, educators are challenged to create learning activities
that cater to all types of learners. Learning-by-doing gives students a sense of accomplishment
when they can demonstrate their knowledge. And in Minecraft: Education Edition, educators are
able to map projects and activities directly to specific learning outcomes and curriculum standards.

You can assign the app to others.

•

You can download the app to distribute.

Admins can also add Minecraft: Education Edition to the private store. This allows people in your
organization to install the app from the private store. For more information, see Distribute apps
using your private store.

Configure automatic subscription assignment
For Minecraft: Education Edition, you can use auto assign subscription to control whether or not you
assign a subscription when a member of your organization signs in to the app.
When auto assign subscription is on, people from your organization who don’t have a subscription
will automatically get one when they sign in to Minecraft: Education Edition. When auto assign
subscription is off, people from your organization will get the trial version when they sign in to
Minecraft: Education Edition. You can always reassign subscriptions, but planning ahead will reduce
time spent managing apps and subscriptions.
