*Students will be actively coding in this class and may benefit from assistance by an adult.* In this coding class, students will learn to code a personalized item to use in Minecraft for Windows 10 or Pocket Edition using the item editor on the Tynker website. First, students will have a chance to share something Minecraft-related with the class and introduce themselves. Then, they will then learn to create their own three-dimensional personalized item with guidance from the teacher. We will be actively coding for the whole class, and this is a great way build confidence. The class is tailored with beginner coding learners in mind. Students will be able to deploy and use their items in Windows 10 or Pocket Edition. *Students will need to have Tynker subscription and a second laptop/computer for this class (This class does require a subscription).

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am married with an eleven year old, and we live in North Carolina. We love being outdoors as a family, and we are very lucky to split our time between the beautiful coast and mountains of our state.
I love reading with children, and I specialize in phonics, letter sounds, word-building, and sounding out words with young readers. This helps beginning readers learn to read quickly and independently! My son was reading well before entering kindergarten. I loved volunteering weekly in both his kindergarten and first grade classrooms. I have a B.A. in English from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and I also earned a TESOL certificate from International Open Academy. I have been teaching children as young as three years old online for over 6 years. It is my passion! I look forward to seeing you in the classroom!
