Minecraft game designers and Code.com have created a tutorial based on the popular PC  game Minecraft. This was created for a annual event called Hour of Code, which is a week long event that teaches people about computer coding. I find this interesting because this is another way Minecraft is being used as an education tool. The article says that over 7,000 teachers have used MInecraft as an educational tool. Normally, I have read about MInecraft being used to teach things such as city planning or architecture. Minecraft is one of the most popular games in the world currently and it is interesting how people are using it for more than just entertainment. This is a creative new way to use this technology and it will be interesting to see how people develop new and creative uses for this game.
