Teaching with videogames - Extra credits (Adrián Andújar)

Hello there gamers!

Do you know Minecraft? It's the biggest sandbox game ever created! You can do a big sort of actions: go fishing, tame a wolf, find minerals, create new tools, sail the sea, fight all kind of monsters... even a drake! But the most important thing is that you can CREATE ANYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE!

It sounds crazy that you can create anything in just a videogame, but it's true. Thanks to the mechanics that the game provides to the players, they can build almost anything imaginable. For example, here we have some real monuments to scale:








But this is not the most impressive. You can build a real function calculator, or even a computer!!

In this picture we can see the incredible mechanism behind.

With a few examples we realize that we can use this videogame to teach interactively almost any topic from any subject.

So what are you waiting for? Let's start imagine, and be ready to build!
