In this class learners will join the teacher in the new and very popular game Among Us! Among Us has gained huge popularity recently due to the fun game style and its interactive nature. Learners along with the teacher will strategize to work together to achieve victory and determine the hidden impostors before all of the crew mates have been eliminated! Crew mate and imposter status is randomly assigned. During the game, crew mates must complete in game tasks while being on the look out for the imposters who are trying to bring the ship down. All people will remain muted during game play to avoid spilling the beans on who the imposters are, but when someone calls a meeting, all learners are unmuted and free to debate and try to convince each other who they think the imposter are. Imposters are encouraged to use their debating skills to deceive the crew mates into believing they are innocent. After everyone is done debating, all players vote on who they think the imposter is and if there is a majority, they are voted off the ship. Rounds continue like this until either all imposters have been voted off, the amount of imposters remaining equals the number of crew mates, or the crew mates finish all of their ship tasks. Please make sure your child has some knowledge of the game before enrolling. This class will focus on the interactive and debate skills, and not teaching the actual rules of the game. :)
Learning Goals
- Learners will learn how to interact online through a fun, interactive game.
- Learners will develop their critical thinking skills, debate skills, as well as mouse and keyboard skills as they move around the ship.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Nicole. As an experienced online teacher with a Bachelors Degree in Education with a double minor in curriculum and instruction and learning and developmental disabilities, I am passionate about helping students succeed using my innate personal attributes as a caring, outgoing, fun, supportive person, together with my diverse and significant academic, school classroom, and employment experiences.
I am passionate about teaching a range of subjects and classes. I believe that learning should be informative and enjoyable. Learning comes in many shapes and forms so I use visual props and images for my visual learners, speech and writing for my auditory learners, and I encourage educational movement for my kinesthetic learners.
I teach a range of classes from academic learning to arts and crafts to life skills. Please message me with any class suggestions or requests you may have.
Teaching is about instilling passion, confidence, and self-esteem in young people while
helping them learn and prepare for their future and that is what I intend to do.
