I have taught over 5,500 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I love using Minecraft to teach my students. Minecraft is filled with endless possibilities to learn reading, chemistry, coding, and more! For this class, I have created unique and engaging activities that will get students excited about reading and interacting with books!
