How do you engage learners in the Digital Age?

Engaged students are more likely to internalize learning and apply it to situations beyond the classroom. So how can you get your learners to engage? In Block Breaker, educator Brian Aspinall explains that the wildly popular game Minecraft may be just the right tool for the job.

Sharing his own and other educators’ success with Minecraft (and other programming applications) in the classroom, Brian reveals how these adaptable tools can be leveraged to engage learners and empower them to find success. Why Minecraft?

• It offers immediate feedback on a personalized learning platform.
• Inquiry tasks encourage students to collaborate, problem solve, and explore multiple approaches to finding a solution.
