[・ Multiplayer is possible with many models if it is an integrated version] -I hear that you may be wondering "I want to start programming with Minecraft, but there are many versions and which terminal should I use ...". Do you have any recommendations for Mr. Tatsunami? Mr. Shuichi Tatsunami (hereinafter referred to as Tatsunami): Minecraft currently has "integrated version" and "Java version". What is used at school is the "Education Edition" (Minecraft: Education Edition). I often recommend the integrated version of Minecraft for Windows 10 (Minecraft: Windows 10, hereafter Windows 10 version). Use the keyboard and mouse for operation. It can be purchased from the Microsoft Store and is easy to deploy. -Is mouse and keyboard operation too early for children in the lower grades of elementary school? Tatsunami: I don't think there is any problem with keyboard and mouse operations even for preschoolers. I've seen it in Seattle, USA, but you were a middle-aged and senior kindergarten student who used a desktop computer to teach typing. By the way, my son has been using a computer since he was 2 years old at my house. ―Are you from 2 years old? Among the winners of the programming work contest "Minecraft Cup", there were children who started with tablets and moved to want to play on PCs. Tatsunami: Yes. Ideally, you should start with your own interest. Of course, it's up to your child, so if you're not interested in computers, you can use Nintendo Switch or iPad, and the most fun thing to do is. The basic way to play is the same.
