Installing Minecraft: Edu Edition

Students will be able to login to Minecraft: Education Edition using their AISD email address. (Students can find this in the AISD Portal's User Profile menu.) Immediately after entering an AISD email, the student will be asked to type their student ID and password into an AISD Portal popup window. This will happen no matter which device the student is using.

This page contains links below for installing Minecraft: Education Edition on any student device.  Scroll down to your device for specific directions. Students should always discuss the installation process with a caregiver before attempting to install on a personal home computer.

After Minecraft: Education Edition is installed, you must login each time using your Austin ISD account: YouTube video
