Background: Here is my project so far. We are supposed to make a world with 10 things that help describe your explorer. One of the things I hope to make by the end of this project is a house for my explorer with some hobbies he like inside of it and a smaller version of the ocean or river. The river because he discovered the Mississippi river. I am also planning on making my house for him a 3 story house, each story explaining a little more about Amerigo Vespucci and who he was. Also, because America was named after him I will be trying to put modern American things, for example my typical American house.

How Minecraft can be put into use in reality...Using Minecraft isn't easy but it's always fun to try new things. Using Minecraft kind of gives me an idea of some jobs in the future that I may cross paths with, such as architecture. The way Minecraft is used by many students now just for fun amazes me because they don't know it yet, but they are using architecture every day they play Minecraft.

My Knowledge of the game...Using Minecraft I am also putting what I learned about my explorer and world history into a fun game that is easier for others to learn about my explorer also. I also have come to learn that Minecraft isn't only about creating things for fun but can also be used for educational purposes.
|
My Perspective...Last but not least, using Minecraft is helping me to learn not only about world history but also about common sense, math, etc. It is also helping to improve my knowledge about other explorers as well. I have grown more familiar with the game but at the same time I am nowhere near as advanced as other students, which makes it a bit more challenging.
