Come and join the fun in this social and exciting class based around the popular murder mystery game Among Us! The game involves strategy and teamwork, mixed with some bluffing and double crossing, as you try to outsmart the other players, and discover (or conceal) the identity of the impostor! I love this game - and here is why... I have seen so many kids grow in confidence during these classes, because if you don't speak up, you end up being voted out! My job as facilitator is to help kids find their voice to defend themselves and help them progress in the game. I immerse myself fully in playing the game during class - but at the end of each game we talk about how this game was won, and what could have been done differently by the losing team, to improve their chances. We will create a private game for just classmates, so this will be moderated by the teacher. We can conduct our discussions over video chat or the written class chat feature as we look for clues, and aim for victory. Explore the new roles in the latest update, and climb the ranks in the game, unlocking new cosmetics! This ongoing class will meet weekly, but can be joined at any point, for as many or few classes as you like! No prior knowledge is required, only a copy of the game, which can be played on a laptop/PC/phone/tablet. This is an ongoing, subscription class that can be joined at any stage, for as many or few classes as you like! I can't wait to see you in class!

Hi, I'm Astrid and I am a mum of two, and a teacher based in the United Kingdom. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics, and I have a Postgraduate degree in teaching Design and Technology. I have worked in schools for over 14 years, and am excited to bring my skills to an online platform.
I love to cook (unless it's dinner - e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y!!), to craft, and my guilty pleasure is gaming! I play Brawl Stars every single day, and I love Roblox (especially Bloxburg!) and Among Us! I am a HUGE Pokémon nerd and love to play Pokémon Go. Expect to see my classes based around these things, because when you love something, it's easy to enthuse others!
I love working with young people and sharing my love of craft & design, textiles, food and gaming, in a fun, engaging and inclusive way. Through seeing the difficulties of my own neurodivergent children in mainstream education, I know first hand of the importance of inclusivity, and strive to make my own lessons both enjoyable and accessible to any learner who wishes to enrol. I like to lead by example, and "make and do" along with the learners, so I am able to cater for a variety of learning styles.
Most of my classes are ongoing, weekly sessions, but these can be also used as one-time classes.
In the aftermath of these difficult times of social distancing, my gaming classes provide a great way for young people to safely connect with their peers and have fun!
I can't wait to welcome you to my classroom!
