1 in-class hours per weekClass Experience
This class is an ongoing class, however players can come and go at any point. In this ongoing social club, learners will meet once a week to develop teamwork and social skills in a Minecraft world. This class is very laid back and open minded and allows for each learner to play in a way that fits them best. Students will choose to play together in a supervised survival world or to play solo in their own world and just join along in the discussion. We will be using Minecraft because it allows for players to express their creative ability and provides a platform to learn, collaborate with other players to achieve their goals, and share tips and tricks with each other. The class is mostly led by the learners, but I will be there as a mentor and to ensure fair play. There is no prior experience needed, I will be there to teach players how the game works and to answer any questions if need be. Each class, new players will be given an opportunity to introduce themselves and a chance to review class expectations This class has no set weekly instruction, it allows each player to build their own adventure. Please message me if my scheduled time doesn't fit with your schedule.
Learning Goals
The students will learn and develop important life skills and practice socializing and working in teams in a supervised environment.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, my name is Ethan Schmidt.
I have received my Highschool Diploma, with which I graduated honors and with over 100 hours of community service, most of which was working with youth. I am currently pursuing my AA degree.
I taught one on one guitar lessons for about 3 years before the pandemic hit.
My teaching style focuses on positive enforcement, but I will not shy away from using constructive criticism when it is needed. I believe anyone can discover a love for learning.
If you have any questions, please send me a message and I will get answer as soon as I can!
