She did - because it encouraged collaboration and conversation.
- joshstrange 11y agoMinecraft has servers that multiple people can join in on and there are audio chat programs but if they are in the same room they can just talk to each other as well.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoMinecraft is multiplayer, and supports chat.
- robmcm 11y agoIt's also the conversations that go on when they are not playing that impresses me. Less so with lego, as it's look at this, then destroyed and forgotten. With minecraft they have to articulate what they have created and why, and continuously improve and develop things.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoMinecraft as a method of teaching tech debt!
- greggman 11y agoI had a long conversation with my friend's daughter as she showed me the entire world she build in Minecraft. The barn she built. The corrals she made and put different animals in each one and named each and every one of the animals. The picnic area she built with a cake a presents for her dad. The roller coaster she made which we took a ride on. Her underground fortress she had hidden under the barn but which you could only get to if you knew where to dig. The house she built with 7 rooms and filled out each one with furniture she built. And on and on. Her dad setup a server so they can play together side by side. She's 8yrs old
