I'm sure that many homeschoolers here already have Minecraft as part of their curriculum, but I found this blog posting about one woman's experiences with her son to be interesting!
Although I haven't played it much, and my efforts to get into the game were laughably pathetic, there has been some talk about adding it to our household as well.

I'm a homeschooler and now am playing on a homeschool server called Skrafty. I think I'm going to take one of the classes on science in the fall on there too

We homeschool as well and my kids have asked me to look into minecraft. This is all very new to me, but I am looking forward to learning something new with them.

Im surprised that Minecraft has graduated to educational level. Ive only seen that once before, and that was age of empires.

Educational? In a manner, sure. I'm playing the thing for fun--if that's the word--maybe it's a competition thing as well--trying to make the most efficient use of resources. Hmm. Anyway, been at it for a month or so and I seem quite satisfied with single player mode.
I've looked at a few youtubes on Minecraft playing and have seen everything from "Let's Play", to deliberately burning things down for the fun of it. I suppose this is a game that is what you make of it.
~~just some thoughts... )

Was it in Sweeden or some European country that MC was part of a currriculem? Idk, but they do have summer classes for MC Artwork which as far as I know just teaches kids to use stairs more efficiently.
So (insert meaning of life and REALLY important stuffs here) and that's what I'm all about!
