what if blockland was used in schools for education? this topic has always been brought up in my mind ever since i purchased the game... what if schools used it? I think we're all aware of the disadvantages of it, but what about the advantages? - events: use them to design cool stuff - vehicles and planes - full of cool and building. the one who makes the best build gets a golden award or something. so, would this be a good/bad idea and why? |

Blockland has no educational value whatsoever. Maybe for preschoolers they could let them build cool stuff, but I've never seen a class on 'eventing' which seems like a pointless skill to have for anything other than playing video games. |

In an architecture class it may have some value as modelling software, but in reality actual modelling software is more useful and plausible. --- Quote from: MunkeyCheez on December 23, 2012, 06:45:37 PM ---my sister's school does a "minecraft redstone club" which has sort of the same concept of eventing --- End quote --- Well, that teaches binary logic and is a club. So, it's pretty different. |
