Ep.14 - Minecraft as a Transition Tool
from Global Transitions · host Aleka Bilan
If you live in a Minecraft household, like I do, then perhaps it is the bane of your existence. Or, perhaps, you marvel at the creativity and collaboration and sheer breadth of possibility on the platform. In any case, I didn't think it was key to my own children's coping mechanisms with transition until I saw my sons building all of our former homes (and favorite vacation destinations) in Minecraft worlds. That way, they could remember - and visit anytime! My TCK son, who celebrated his 11th birthday last year in a passport immigration line in Jakarta, tells us more. Note: The 1.17 software update dropped on the day this was published, so there was much excitement in our house and neighborhood!
