Minecraft is a game that positions players in a practically limitless world of voxel blocks and gives them the tools to create new worlds or works of art, and the Education Edition strips down some of the scale to offer a platform more focused on engaging students in educational exercises. That more limited approach may chafe players who are used to being able to do anything, but it allows educators to create a variety of virtual sandboxes that can be tailored to the specific needs of the curriculum and the class.
