Class experience
Let's make learning fun with Minecraft Education Edition! My name is Ms. Astrid and I am a certified Minecraft Educator. Each week your learner will have access to our private account, where they will participate in fun build challenges, educational servers, coding tutorials, educational games and co-op free play. During this 4-week session we will have fun playing and learning together using Minecraft Education Edition. Students can be absolute beginners wanting to learn how to play, or...
Learners will practice critical thinking skills, collaboration and teamwork, and will increase their knowledge of Minecraft. In addition, the themes covered in this course include several core academic topics such as: ELA, STEM, Art & Design and Coding/Computer Skills. This course is also a great introduction to digital citizenship and learning to play nicely with others online.
I am a certified Minecraft Educator and completed the required courses through Microsoft’s Minecraft Teacher Academy. I have also been teaching this course on my own private website to a private homeschooling group for kids ages 7-15. I have been teaching online at Outschool and privately since 2017 and love world-building on Minecraft Education! Here is a link to a document with all of Wild and Unstructured Learning's teachers. They are listed alphabetically in the document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zItA4QLkRR6dfhOEMzBjrWW_Zssk9Yz5B90Nstuli0c/edit?usp=sharing

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Though the game Minecraft features fantasy violence at times, we will not be playing in any realms or worlds that include hostile entities such as zombies, nor will learners be playing in survival mode where there is any combat. Animals can be attacked and “die” but as we will be playing in Creative mode, there is no need to “hunt” or collect food, etc. There may be times where learners discover some of these features in-game but it will not be part of our classroom experience. Learners will not be sharing any personal information and do not share usernames with one another. My servers are only accessible with a custom login, which I will provide upon enrollment. Learners do not need to exchange usernames with one another in order to play, and only their first name is visible on-screen. Parents should monitor their children’s activity online and it is sometimes helpful for a parent to be nearby in case the learner needs assistance (especially while signing in for the first class). If this is not possible, be sure to test your connection and login information before launching the Zoom meeting for class, and let me know if you have any difficulties or questions.
