🏡 How do we teach learners to build stronger communities? The answer might start with a simple conversation. As classrooms begin exploring Village Square, we've created a printable Family Charter that helps learners and families discuss: ✅ Participation ✅ Fairness ✅ Shared responsibility ✅ Community decision-making These conversations help connect learning experiences in Minecraft Education to real-world citizenship and family engagement. ✨ Every great village starts with a shared vision. If you've used the Family Charter, we'd love to hear from you: What value sparked the most meaningful discussion with your learners? 🔗 https://msft.it/6040adKB6 #MinecraftEducation #VillageSquare #CivicLearning #StudentVoice

What happens when students are given the tools to shape their own community? In Village Square, they work together, discuss ideas, solve local challenges, and see the impact of their choices firsthand in a Minecraft world designed for learning. Developed with iCivics, this lesson helps students build collaboration, communication, and civic engagement skills through hands-on play. ✨ Less observing. More participating.

Excited for this session with Aaron Sweet on how play-based learning can unlock deeper engagement and meaningful learning experiences. #MinecraftEducation #GameBasedLearning #EducationInnovation #TeachingAndLearning
What if one of the most powerful tools for deeper learning looked more like play than instruction? Microsoft Elevate Educator Fellow Aaron Sweet has seen how Minecraft Education can help students move beyond memorization and into exploration. When students are encouraged to build, test ideas, solve challenges, and learn from failure, they develop skills that matter far beyond the classroom. Join Aaron for 'What's Working Now: Play Your Way to Deeper Learning' on September 23 as he shares how educators are using play-based learning and why those approaches remain relevant in an AI-enabled world. Educators from around the world are welcome. Live captions will be available in 62 languages.

From storytelling and creative writing to language exploration and communication, literacy skills help learners build connections that extend far beyond the classroom. Ready to level up literacy learning?
