Get ready to journey to the Nether, and join me in my fortified Nether village! When you join us, we will prepare provisions, armor, weapons, set traps, and build towers to defend so we can survive against the incoming horde of mobs that wish to steal all of our gold! In this class, you will see some building materials and styles I've made make the Nether more livable than you'd expect, my wish is that you can take inspiration in your own builds. We will need builders to make sure defenses will hold, lay traps in case the enemies get inside, enchant our armor and weapons, and even make some siege weapons. If you don't know how to do these things, I look forward to teaching you! Hopefully our class will prepare quickly and efficiently so we can withstand the attack in survival mode and defend our treasured items! Not only must we defend the Diamond Throne but hopefully find the hidden stashes of well-enchanted armor that will turn the tide of the battle! I will always cater the difficulty of the invasion to the class, meeting the perfect balance between challenging but not bringing too many failures the kids want to give up! NOTE ABOUT MINECRAFT: There are two versions of Minecraft that run on different code: Java (PC, Mac, Linux) and Bedrock. This class uses Bedrock, and is compatible with the following devices: PC with Windows 10, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, phone or tablet version. This is not a Minecraft Java class. Please make sure your child has online-play enabled with their Microsoft account, including Nintendo Switch Online, Xbox Live Gold, and PlayStation® Plus subscriptions for their respective device. I will give more detailed instructions about friending me and joining class upon registering.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a teacher who combines my love of video games and fictional stories with subjects like personal development, history, psychology, and anthropology, and writing. I want to stimulate learning within the environments students find themselves most engaged, whether they be in virtual worlds or ones in their imagination!
I have 6 years of teaching experience with 18 year-old English-learners and children ages 7-13. I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology from Clemson University and use this degree to help students reflect on others' perspectives. My philosophy of teaching ensures students hit every spot in the learning cycle. When my students grapple with new concepts, they will reflect on the connections these concepts have to their personal lives, and actively experiment with these concepts in activities that rely on teamwork, problem solving, and promote creativity. Creativity is my bread and butter. It is my personal wish to have every student ignite their love of learning by creating something they can proudly show off to parents and friends.
Besides being a fan of video games like World of Warcraft and Skyrim, I love movies, reading, hiking and listening to podcasts, practicing self-defense (Krav Maga), and dancing to electronic music. I have lived abroad and travelled to over 10 countries, and enjoy studying other cultures and ways of living.
