Sorry, kids. Microsoft is turning Minecraft into an 'educational tool'

"I will be the first to guess, it will only work on windows 10. So that school have to have windows 10. Just gonna' put that out there. When schools can't afford jack because of govt cuts."

Schools don't have to pay anything to upgrade, or downgrade, it's all covered under the campus site licence agreements. Which are, I will note, incredibly inexpensive for schools. Gotta get kids hooked while they're young and all, LOL.

That said I think computing in education needs to move a huge step back from such high level, abstract things as Minecraft and Windows. The Raspberry Pi is a huge step in the right direction, and needs to get pushed in education, along with other tools to teach the basic building blocks of computing.
