I have taught over 7,000 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I got into Minecraft years ago because my own kids were interested and wanted to play. I learned everything I could about it to ensure a safe, fun and educational experience. Now I love playing the game and using it to teach - the possibilities are endless!
