Digital Smarts - Your Kids and Minecraft
You are here
Minecraft has become one of the most popular video games for both kids and adults. Kim Komando, a writer for USA Today, thinks the game can be an educational tool for kids and has devoted one of her weekly columns to the subject, entitled Five things Minecraft teaches kids. She believes that Minecraft builds creativity, teaches real world skills, is kid friendly, is highly portable and is fun for the whole family. Before allowing kids to play an online game, she suggests having them read and sign the online agreement 10 Commandments for Kids Online, which can also serve as a great conversation starter on what is and is not acceptable behavior.
