Among Us is a game that follows a group of crewmates, and among them is an impostor whose goal is to sabotage their space-ship and the crew. At the start of the class your student will be given a code to join a private game. Since this game allows in-game chat, the private server will ensure a safe environment for your child and will ensure they will not be interacting with just anyone. Your student, and a class of peers their own age, will get to work together to problem solve, communicate with each other, and learn how to make decisions by voting. Among us is a mobile and a PC game. The game is required for this class- the mobile version is free in the app store. NOTE: This game only works with a minimum of 6 players. If there are not at least 5 students signed up one hour before the class starts, I will message parents and offer a refund or a reschedule. (If your class starts at 6pm, and at 5pm only 2 students are signed up, I will cancel class and message the parent)

Parental Guidance
The game consists of "impostors" and "crewmates". The impostors goal is to sabotage the ship and kill all the crewmates. The crewmates' goal is to complete their list of tasks and vote out the impostor before they have killed every. The game is rated "ESRB EVERYONE 10+ for Fantasy violence, Mild blood". Video clips of the game are available on youtube if you would like to see the game before allowing your child to play.

IMPORTANT: This is an online game. After the class ends, if your student is still on their device, they may turn public mode on and be at risk to talk to strangers. During this class we will be playing on private, meaning we are only playing with the people in the class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Howdy! I am a writer and teacher from Texas.
I think social interaction with people your own age is super important, but also a bit hard in these times. In my "classroom" I strive to make a safe and fun environment for your students to not miss out on playing with kids their own age.
I currently host Among Us and Minecraft classes. Both of these are games I learned (and now LOVE) with in the past year. This being said, if your kiddo has a game they love but cannot find a social setting to play, feel free to message me and I can do my best to learn it and make a class.
I have a BS in General Studies from Texas A&M University. I am currently enrolled in a graduate school program and am getting my Masters in Communication.
In my classroom, I value safety, good attitude, and taking turns. I currently do not have academic classes, so my biggest hope is that your student is able to make friends in my classes.
