Class experience
Like interactive show and tell for video games! Learners are encouraged to play video games while chatting and sharing with other gamers. Games do not need to be co-op (cooperative) nor multiplayer. Gamers can play games of their choice during class on any platform: console, PC, mobile, etc. Each week during class time learners may: * Share a general weekly update * Talk about what they're playing now * Share game play or screen shots * Play solo, cooperatively, or competitively with...
Students will practice social skills while interacting with other gamers.
I have been gaming since 1986, starting with Boulderdash on the Commodore 64. My husband loves all the game types that I don't, so I have exposure to a wide variety of games and platforms. I have several other gaming classes, and I love to talk games with the next generation!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
This class may use breakout rooms to allow learners to co-op play with others or chat about certain games in smaller groups. The teacher will alternate between rooms to moderate and keep on track. Learners may also want to share personal information such as server codes or IP address in order to co-op play. Please talk to your learner about cyber security and what should or should not be shared during class. Games that are shared will need to be age-appropriate, and screenshots and screen shares should only feature games that do not contain gore, excessive blood, inappropriate language, drug use, and/or nudity. Parents should review these guidelines with their learners when deciding which games to share in class. Video games have a rating system, and it is easy to do a quick web search to find out what may be objectionable about particular games. Generally speaking, games shared should be rated E or E10+ or Teen. Please keep in mind the age range and possible sensitivities of other learners when deciding what to share in class.
