Minecraft Education

Minecraft: Educational Edition is an upcoming educational version of Minecraft specifically designed for classroom use. It is being developed by Mojang AB and Microsoft Studios and will contain features that will make Minecraft easy to use in a classroom setting. Lesson plans through the Education Edition are available to download, with the full game being released this summer, in time for the 2016 school year. The full game will cost $5 per year to use, with a free trial expected to be available. Schools and districts who already have MinecaftEdu will be able to get the Education Edition for free.
