Minecraft and Immersive Education Initiative, 9NEWS Denver


9 NEWS Denver states that Colorado's historic site called Bent's Old Fort near La Junta is to be recreated in Minecraft. Minecraft is a famous virtual game where you make your own avatar that represent yourself. By putting this trading post in virtual gaming, more people get to have opportunity to stop by at this site and experience historic trading post in Colorado. At the same time, Immersive Education gets better promotion and advertisement effect. 

The news highlighted the fact that virtually presented trading post near La Junta in Minecraft will definitely cause more people to visit the actual site, which is a positive effect for the Colorado community. Immersive Education Initiatives would also benefit from the advertisement that highlights the positive effect that IM is giving to the community of Colorado.



This is an assignment from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Collaborative Computing. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
