Minecraft- This app is made by Microsoft. It is mainly used
in the classroom as a visuospatial aid for students to understand science and
mathematics. It has a stealth learning focus on geometry so the introduction of
the topic is easier to understand. It is
already a game that is used to create structures, so it is no surprise that it inspires
creativity. Has multiplayer capability so it inspires teamwork. Although it has
a survival goal set option, it is not a graphic game and does not focus on any
type of gore or death.
Animal Crossing: Pocket Edition- Animal Crossing games are
all about time management and planning. It has the most focus on the aspect of
trading good and how to acquire the goods needed to complete favors from other
characters. There is no violence of any sort, just real world consequences of
being independent and broke. The player must manage money, collect goods, sell
and trade goods, and maintain relationships with other characters.
