We've been "messing" around with MineCraftEdu in school for a few years now. I've run several clubs focussing on developing pupils creativity and teamwork skills and over time they've created quite an impressive city world. I don't find it a gimmick, and I don't find it a distraction, as has been claimed recently by one or two educational "experts". In fact, I find that it motivates pupils to produce outstanding work.

Another after school club.
There will be another after school club for Year5/6 starting up soon. This time it's purpose is to try and help with pupil well being. With all the demands of the curriculum and summer testing they need an opportunity to just switch off, and so I'll be offering an hour of relaxation as they sit and listen to a story being read to them.
