I have taught over 5,000 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I love using Minecraft to teach my students as it 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 practicing USA geography and bring them one step closer to mastering their states and capitals! I have worked with students with a variety of learning differences and I have strategies to engage each student. I am a homeschool mom of 3 with 10+ years of experience including teaching students with ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, PDA and more.
