Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
*This class only used Bedrock edition, which is playable on Android, iOS, FireOS, Windows 10, Gear VR, Fire TV, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PSVR. This is a server, not a realm.*

*(The prerequisite to this class is that students must have attended at least 2 club meetings in Horse Chat: An Equine-Crazy Social Club or of any of my other classes)*

This class is learner directed. Students will get to collaborate on what a particular project will look like, which involves exercising communication skills and being courteous of one another. I will give direction and guidance when needed. Students may work on one big project together, break into groups and work on a few smaller projects, or branch off and build solo projects (As long as it's approved by the teacher). Only enrolled learners will have access to this server, and when class time is over, the server is closed and not touched until the next session.

Before class time, please make sure you're logged into your Minecraft account. Upon enrollment, please private message me your gaming tag so that I can identify you and send a private invite and any information required to log in securely. 

While it is doable to play Minecraft and be in Zoom on the same device, it can cause technology challenges. If possible, be on Zoom on one device and in Minecraft on another. If there are still technical difficulties I can screen share so that the student having trouble can 
still see what is going on and be able to chat amongst peers.

Students will get to utilize their creativity, love for horses, practice their social skills in this niche server. This allows for learning how to work as a team and share common interests while playing a game together. A "code of conduct" message is sent out upon enrollment with further instruction.
Learning Goals
Students will be constructing the group Minecraft horse ranch in a creative mode server hosted by me that is safe and private.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
1. Avoid interrupting the teacher/other students. I know internet lag can cause overlap, so try to make sure the other person is done talking first to help mitigate this. Raising your hand if you have a question or comment also helps keep things orderly and gives everyone a chance to talk. 2. Participate in class in a quiet room, if possible. If there is background noise, please mute yourself unless you are speaking. 3. Per Outschool policy, parents must stay off camera and not interact with the class (this includes posing as the child in the chat and messaging functions, telling the child what to say or do, challenging/asking/interacting with the teacher). Of course, if your student is having technical difficulties you can help them. I am more than happy to interact with parents outside of class time via Outschool’s private messaging system. 4. Do not distract the class by abusing drawing tools in Zoom. 5. Use the chat box for things relevant to class. I check it every time that it is used and if it is for goofing off it takes away time from other students who are paying attention. 6. Per Outschool policy, all students must turn on their cameras so I can confirm their identity for safety reasons. Once I have confirmed this, I have no problem with them preferring to keep the camera off. 7. If you are having internet connectivity issues, please let me know. 8. If the student will be absent for a class, please let me know ahead of time if possible so I can adjust the class accordingly. 9. Students that are misbehaving get two warnings, then the third offense will result in the child being put in the Zoom waiting room until the class has concluded. No refunds will be given if this has occurred. For any inquiries/comments regarding classes, please message me privately so I can do my best to address your needs. Thanks!

Ideally, play on one device and be in the Zoom meeting on another. Regardless, we'll adapt. Thank you for your patience :)
