Microsoft has announced a formal US release date of 1 November for Minecraft: Education Edition. The game will be available on Xbox One, Windows 10 and the Nintendo Switch. The software will be available for $5 per user per year, or via Microsoft's Enrollment for Education Solutions volume licensing arrangement. Designed specifically for convenient classroom use, Minecraft might very well both popularize and normalize game-based learning once and for all. Minecraft could popularise game-based learning in the classroom and also provide teachers with a way of expanding their professional learning network.
