Experiences of my life in South Africa as an educator that loves edtech and game based learning.

Nursing Education Postgraduate students embrace game based learning.

I just love my job and interacting with people. One of the awesome groups that I can interact with is the Nursing Education Postgraduate students. They have started a project where they incorporate game based learning #GBL to their studies. Minecraft Education Edition is the chosen platform.

Students are building a chosen system of the body in Minecraft. They will create a specific mission around it for the player to complete.

None of the students have used Minecraft EE before so it is a learning process for everyone. It is great to see how the students learn from each other. Teamwork and collaboration in action.
