About the Minecraft Innovation in Learning Project
The project enables participants to collaborate together, forming a state-wide community of practice focused on capitalising on the learning potential that Minecraft: Education Edition offers.
In June this year, more than 37,000 Victorian government school teachers and students accessed Minecraft: Education Edition.
In September, Victorian teachers were recognised internationally on the Minecraft Education global website for their creativity and innovation when using Minecraft: Education Edition to support remote and flexible learning.
