Abstract
Digital games have long been of interest to Game Studies communities, but relatively few have examined how teachers design with and incorporate commercial digital games in their teaching in K-12 classrooms. In this paper, we examine a corpus of 627 online lesson plans designed for Minecraft Education Edition. First, we provide descriptive statistics about the authors, language, subject areas, skills, and intended student age of the lessons. We then share our work-in-progress to analyze lessons uploaded by 16 power users. With this analysis, we hope to work towards a taxonomy of teachers’ designs with sandbox games. Our work contributes a snapshot of the current landscape of uses of Minecraft Education Edition as an educational tool and begins exploring how teachers design with a sandbox game for learning.
