LOOKING BACK ON A YEAR OF MINECRAFT IN EDUCATION
|
|
We can all agree that 2020 was a tough year. But teachers still accomplished some truly amazing things! Educators took incredible strides to empower remote and hybrid learning, students displayed inspiring resilience and ingenuity, and we explored new frontiers of learning with Minecraft. Look back on some of last year’s biggest moments with us, and get inspired for a fantastic 2021.

In the spring of 2020, Canadian schools were in the midst of closures due to the global pandemic. Teachers were looking for ways to engage students virtually.
