In this ongoing class we will check out a new map from the Marketplace every week! Students will have the chance to request maps to try out and see if they like them. The teacher will get the map and host the world for students to join and explore. The Marketplace has many different options to fit all kinds of play styles. We will be playing minigames, solving puzzles in adventure maps, exploring custom worlds, finding our favorite characters in mash-ups and testing out add-ons! Students will get to play Minecraft how they enjoy playing, and maybe find their new favorite map! 🎮 Play on any console you want! This game is cross-platform compatible, and learners can connect from their PC, Play Station, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch. Regardless of the device your learner or their friends own, they’ll be able to play the game together. 🥳 Small Class Sizes: Our smaller class sizes guarantee quality attention given to each individual! Rather than getting lost inside a giant class or being isolated inside a Zoom breakout room, our teachers play along on their screens and get to know every individual, and learners are given a chance to form true bonds of friendship. 📝 Class Requirements & Supply List: - Minecraft Bedrock, downloaded and ready to play - A playable console (Xbox, Switch, Playstation, iPad) or PC. This class is for Bedrock edition for crossplay! - A Microsoft Account - A strong Internet connection for gaming ❔ Minecraft FAQ What is Java edition and what is Bedrock edition? - Java edition can only be played on a PC.

If your student has a Microsoft account, they have a gamer tag. They must share this gamer tag to gain access to the private server. ⌨️ Gamer Tags: Gamer tags will be visible during gaming. Students can add each other as friends if they would like to, however it is not a requirement for the class. ⚠️ Parental Guidance - Students need to share their friend codes with teacher or other students to participate in this class.
