Microsoft's official Minecraft: Education Edition will launch in an early access program (kind of like the original game did) in June. The idea is to give educators a chance to give the blocky building game a test run during the summer break so they can assess how it will fit into their teaching plans, providing feedback throughout the process. This will also aid in the creation of further lesson plans.
The people in Redmond have several tours available so far including a tour of Temple of Artemis, Pyramids of Giza or Anderson Shelters used to protect from bombs during World War II. It will be available for free on both Windows and OS X within a few months. However it is a beta version, with around 100 schools from 30 nations will be released in May.
