Minecraft Bedrock Edition software downloaded with connected Minecraft (Microsoft/Xbox) gamer tag name with ability to friend and play in multiplayer worlds. 

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Minecraft

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition must be used, with multiplayer and cross-platform online play permissions toggled on. Bedrock Edition is available on Windows 11 PC, iPads, Fire tablets, Switch, Xbox, and mobile devices. 

• Mutual Minecraft Bedrock friending for class is required to participate in this weekly class as this is necessary for participation in the class private world. Share gamer tag names privately with educator before class begins.

• Participation is allowed only during the scheduled class time. Ensure simultaneous presence in the Outschool Zoom classroom during Minecraft class activities.

• In select classes, learners may choose to utilize a small group Zoom breakout room. Breakout rooms are optional and allow close collaboration with peers on projects and quests. Learners have control to join, ask for help, communicate, and leave a breakout room at any time.

• Class video recordings are not shared in social gaming classes to respect and protect all learners. 

• Inclusion is key within our Outschool Zoom classroom and respecting the unique creations of each player, in our multiplayer private class world in Minecraft. We stand united against Minecraft griefing. No tricking or trapping fellow players, and no taking of other's items or pets, no destroying each other's build creations or animals. No intentional actions to cause a negative experience within Minecraft such as intentional over spawning, auto clicking, or attempts to lag or crash our Minecraft world. Together, we build a collaborative haven where every learner and their items and creations are valued and celebrated.

• Communication is welcomed, including the Outschool classroom Zoom using voice/microphone, Zoom video (which can be on or off once learner camera check in is completed), Zoom chat text, Minecraft chat text, and avatar actions in the game. Learners are given multiple options to engage, and digital hand raising is helpful when needed.

• To maintain a positive atmosphere in our Outschool Zoom meeting, I will take care to hold space for learners, occasionally using muting to facilitate focus or address background conversations or distracting noises. The goal is to empower learners to express themselves comfortably and respectfully in a collaborative learning space.


• All learners will need to be in the Outschool classroom to participate in our class Minecraft map. Learners have access to this map on my private server during our Outschool class time. 

• Minecraft contains cartoon type violence without blood or gore.
