Minecraft Education Worlds

Minecraft Worlds should automatically be saved to the cloud. If you want to confirm that you have cloud storage turned on, open Minecraft Education, find the Settings, and check that cloud storage is turned on.

If you want to verify that your worlds are backed up to the cloud, click on My Worlds and look for the little cloud icon. If they are saved to the cloud, they can be accessed from any device that you are signed into with your @shakopeeschools.org account.
