Minecraft Education is important to Microsoft as it shows the company's plans for the “game” to become a platform ecosystem. When Microsoft acquired Mojang for $2.5 billion in 2014, the company seen Minecraft has something more than a game. Now, Education is being expanded to Apple's iPad. Minecraft Education can be a good resource for teachers. Through Classroom Mode teachers get the tools to create an in-game online space to interact with children. They can set tasks, give resources, chat, and see where all members are on the map. Microsoft says it will bring Minecraft Education to iOS (only iPad) during September. Basically, this means educators and students can access the platform from their iPad. Class resources, interaction, and other features will all be available. The idea behind Minecraft Education is to connect teachers and students in and out of the classroom. It has been available for Windows devices since 2016. Indeed, it has been a long time coming to iPad considering Apple's tablet is much-used in schools and universities.
