Class Experience

In this class, learners will explore a variety of famous landmarks and historical locations using Minecraft Education. Each session will begin with an engaging mini-lesson about the location, including its history, geography, and cultural significance. Learners will participate in discussions, share their thoughts, and ask questions to build a deeper understanding of the place we're visiting.

After the introduction, we’ll dive into Minecraft Education, where learners will explore detailed virtual worlds based on the week's featured location. While exploring, they will complete fun, interactive tasks designed to reinforce their learning and spark curiosity about geography, history, and culture.

This class is highly interactive, with opportunities for learners to engage with each other through discussions, collaborative tasks in Minecraft, and real-time feedback. My teaching style is hands-on and learner-centered, encouraging creativity, exploration, and curiosity. This is a great way for students to combine their love for gaming with educational exploration in a fun and supportive environment!
