Help with persuasive essay, need your thoughts about how Minecraft can be used in Educational manner

Hello everyone, I’m doing a persuasive paper for my English class in college about how Minecraft can be used for education. I was wondering if you guys could post small, one sentence, explanations of something you guys may have learned from playing Minecraft that effects you in the real world. I will try to implement these in my essay for the “for-it” side of the argument. Also, if you have some concerns about how the game can degenerate the learning experience, please post those too, for the “against-it” side of the argument.

If you all would like, after I finish the essay (3-4 pages in length), I can post it on here for all you to read?

Thank you sleye3

P.S. The essay is due in 3 weeks as my final. If you do want to post a response, please do it before then. Thank you.
