Minecraft in Education

Videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5Recp9xpYY : Exploring history and humanities using a special map designed for this purpose, importantly it is not compulsory and it is within students spare time, rewards are given within school for code words to help encourage them to learn at home.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eybEx960Wj4 : The balance between ecology and student goals.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BBvYyo1VCQ : In use.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7x6pf09hfs : Learning English for Japanese students, now teaches Japanese for anyone around the world! Once again mainly people who chose to learn.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBh3K4NR00U : Building using contour maps. Working together to create a mountain from contours, interesting to hear students working with each other, even though there is a bit of tension between some with comments within the game, such as "GET OUT OF MY WAY"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPiLAyq9vbI : Creating 3D representations of cells in the body, note one group did not do what was expected of them and overall the time scale is an hour and a half, a very long time for such a simple task.
