Minecarft has been used by students to build three-dimensional worlds, allows students to experience, spatial awareness, design, constructions, and evaluation of those worlds. HoloLens adds the opportunity for the Minecraft worlds to become much more engaging for students by allowing students to build their Minecraft worlds on their desks or a table in the form of a model that they can walk around. The Minecraft world could also be build large enough to allow the students to walk into their created world. This give new and engaging ways for students to design, plan, build, interact and share their constructed world. The Australian Curriculum for the Design and Technologies teaching area defines "shaping preferred futures" as the focus for this teaching area, and using HoloLens with Minecraft is a great way for students to experience this in an exciting and engaging way.
Building a Minecraft world also provides tailored learning experiences through scaffolding (defining parameters for the world), and diversity opportunities (students with learning difficulties may build smaller worlds, while other students may be encouraged to build larger or more complex worlds). |
