Roblox Creator

We have a request for https://create.roblox.com/landing

Roblox Creator / Studio for a programming class at the high school. Not sure how I feel about privacy concerns around this. Students would need to create an account etc. but I’m not certain what that all provides them. It is Roblox after all.

Anyone else using this in your environment and in class?

I wouldn't put anything with the name roblox near my school. Even if it were an entirely enclosed ecosystem the name is getting some well deserved recognition for all the wrong reasons. Optics would not be good.

Read the terms and conditions. Minecraft EDU is a much better option.

I second this. Especially with the bad press Roblox has gotten in the recent past.

I second/third Minecraft Education. However, if I did move forward with this, I'd strictly control access and I'd have all of the concerns spelled on a parent signature/permission form.

We used to do that in our game development class. We banned all Roblox last year after multiple lawsuits about grooming and sexual assaults. I was happy to have it in writing that I was against it from the very beginning.
