Thanks to its versatility, it is even used as an educational tool by institutions with the Minecraft: Education Edition that is also available with Microsoft Office 365 Education. Apart from the growing interest among Minecraft gamers to share their experience and entertain the masses, educators can encourage their students to create how-to videos, write stories, explain gameplay and stream them to platforms, such as YouTube to develop confidence in speaking.
