Lgbtqia+ Modded Minecraft Teenager Gaming Group
Class experience
This ongoing Minecraft Java class is mainly for teenagers who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual, gender-nonbinary, pansexual, and any other student under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella to play Minecraft in an environment that is inclusive of them as oftentimes gaming communities exclude members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Each week we will play modded Minecraft: Java Edition. The current mods for the class add towns and little monsters that the students can...
I am a gay man who works hard to stay aware of issues that affect trans members of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially matters that affect African American transwomen.
2 files available upon enrollment-a purchased version of Minecraft: Java Edition -Curseforge -a computer with at least 8GB of RAM -(optional) some learners use two devices, they use Zoom on one device and play Minecraft on the other
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Swearing: Some learners may use swear words when talking. Racism, Religion, and Politics: Some learners may mention these topics as they intersect with their identity as an LGBTQIA+ person. If this topic comes up, it will always be framed in the context of how the student presents it as long as it does not go against the existence of other marginalized members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Discrimination and Hate Crimes: Some learners may mention these topics when talking about about their experience or another LGBTQIA+ person. Mental Health: Some students may mention suicide, depression, and other mental health matters while talking freely in class about their experience as an LGBTQIA+ person. If students share that they are having mental health concerns personally, I will encourage them to seek out an adult in their personal life that they can trust since I am not a certified counselor and I will message their parent and Outschool Safety. Sex Work- Some students might mention sex work when discussing some famous or influential LGBTQIA+ individuals. When discussions of sex work come up, I will treat it as a job that some people had to do to survive while also recognizing that some people choose this career. CurseForge- this program is a pre-launcher. You tell this program which mod you want to play and it will gather the necessary files to launch the correct version of modded Minecraft. This program also provides easy access to mod files for users. Death- A learners in-game character may die during gameplay from either monsters, other players, natural hazards, etc.

I am a fossil and language lover. I love talking about natural history just as much as I love to talk about languages. I believe we can learn a lot about our natural environment from fossils, just as much as we can learn about culture and history...
