Yes, I know that Minecraft isn't technically an MMO, but with multiplayer servers, you can have up to 999 players connected simultaneously in the same space, which is ironically more than many MMOs. But I digress!
Massively Minecraft (no relation) is a community of Minecraft players dedicated to the education of children on a massive scale through the popular indie sandbox. Created by virtual world vet Jokaydia, Massively Minecraft is "a Guild based learning community for kids aged 4-16 who are interested in developing digital media skills, exploring their creativity and developing online social skills." Of course, in an environment like that, there's an application process to get onto the multiplayer server's whitelist, so safety is a priority.
You can learn more about how the Massively Minecraft community operates by visiting its website.

The power of the sandbox strikes again! This time in educative gaming, not a bad place to hit. Really though, this is a great example of using video games educationally. Let alone its a player run/made project. Bravo!

Kids have a blast and really come out of their shells. Learn how to get along, solve disputes, teamwork, learn how to navigate forums, post videos and images, unleash their creativeness and just plain have fun.

Well, I was going to ask about that one "MegaBlox" or Lego clone MMO (whose name I can't remember...Kinectblox? I know they have game cards in some stores...) and that was in reference to the article in regards to the cancellation of Lego Universe regarding a Mother searching for a new MMO for her autistic son.
I guess this wouldn't be too bad.
Internet: Please pass this along to all concerned parties and children. (Or post on the Lego Universe forums...if they are still around?).
