Other Details
Parental Guidance

Additional Notes:
Students will need to have the app downloaded to the device they will be playing on. Students may Zoom and play on one device but it works best if they play on a different device than they Zoom on if they are mobile. Students will need a device to game on and would benefit from a second device to Zoom on if playing on mobile. Gamer tags will be required for the class, so adults/learners will need to message gamer tags directly through a private message. Any Gamer tags posted to the classroom will be deleted.
