Minecraft Education is the gold standard for what 'educational tech' should actually look like. It’s the version of the game that strips out the predatory monetization and the weirdos on public servers, leaving behind a pure, creative sandbox.

If your school is using it, lean in. It’s one of the few digital tools that isn't just a glorified worksheet. It forces kids to think about spatial logic, resource management, and collaboration—all while they think they're just playing a game. It's screen time you can actually feel good about, provided they still go outside once in a while.
