Student Access to MinecraftEDU
keywords: Minecraft, Minecraft EDU,
aliases: Requesting Minecraft, Minecraft Educational, Minecraft for Class
Everyone can login and use Minecraft in trial mode (25 logins for teachers, 10 for students). If you find there is an educational benefit to using this with your students and you have a plan for integration into curriculum, please submit a Help Desk ticket. Please include your class, section, and reason why you are requesting it in the ticket.
Minecraft EDU may not work on all Chromebooks. If your student sees a message that Admin must approve then we can look at the possibility of trading out for a 'newer' device. See your school librarian for more information or submit a ticket.
Student may use a Chromebook or an iPad. DLI has already completed the work for student accounts that is listed in the guides. See these additional resources.
Get started with Minecraft: Education Edition on the Chromebook

Currently we know these Chromebook models assignment to students are NOT compatible:
Lenovo 100e 2nd Gen MTK
Dell Chromebook 11 (3120)
If you find the Chromebook your student has will not support downloading Minecraft Education Edition, work with your library tech and/or submit a ticket through Service Central with the Chromebook barcode. If possible a replacement Chromebook will be swapped. *There are limited Chromebooks available and we cannot guarantee a replacement will be available.
Students will use studentnumber@edtools.psd401.net to sign in, example; 2222222@edtools.psd401.net and use their current PSD password.
Students will have 10 free logins. We ask you to use these first before requesting student licenses. Licenses are year long and would best be purchased at the beginning of the school year.
