In this ongoing class, learners will join me in rebuilding and expanding an abandoned village and farm in a Minecraft Bedrock Realm. We will build and explore all the ways that we can farm and garden in a virtual world, and discuss how that translates into the real world, while making and building friendships along the way. We will explore all of the different plants and animals available to shape our Minecraft worlds, from planting our first seeds, to harvesting our first carrots, learners will engage in a dynamic world building experience that will change from week to week, based upon the interests of the learners enrolled. Learners will work on communication skills, while working together, or building independently. This class will be hosted on a Minecraft Bedrock Realm in creative mode. Learners will need to own a copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Windows 10, Switch, Xbox One, Ipad, Android) [Please note that Realms is not currently supported on PS4] All learners will need to have a Minecraft profile with online play enabled. This class is NOT compatible with Java edition. This class is NOT a Mojang Product. IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING MINECRAFT MOBILE : Minecraft is updating their requirements for mobile devices starting in October 2020. This means that some older mobile devices will no longer be supported in Realms. I am including a link to their article regarding which devices are affected. If you received an update that stated your device is no longer supported, your device is affected by this update. All classes happening before October 31st should be unaffected. Any class after October will require a device that meets Minecraft's newest requirements. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/important-news-regarding-minecraft-mobile

Parental Guidance
Minecraft is a dynamic game, with a multitude of spontaneously generated "mobs", some of which can cause damage to the Player characters. We will be playing in creative mode, but there is the possibility that some of the work we will do may cause your learners character to be damaged, potentially to the point of temporary death before re-spawning. Please be aware that this is an aspect of gameplay in Minecraft. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of New Orleans
Hello! My name is Beth. I teach classes in writing, sewing, gardening, and life skills. I unschool my own two children, we are from New Orleans, LA, and now live on a small farm in south Mississippi.
I believe that where there is interest, learning will follow. I create engaging and interesting classes that inspire interest and foster learning and true comprehension. I offer a supportive and positive learning environment where it is safe to make mistakes. Mistakes are an amazing opportunity for learning. I enjoy helping students find the spark that lights the fire of motivation. In my classroom, students grow in confidence and bravery.
I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!Reviews
