Hello all! We are so excited to meet you all and game together. Gamer tags will be required for the class. Learners or parents to privately message gamer tags directly to the teacher. All gaming will take place on private servers or realms. Roblox Learners will meet, game and socialize with their peers. The teacher will game with the students, moderate, encourage, help and guide students with game tips. Learners will post their top 3 Roblox games to the classroom. Our random generator will choose the game of the week from that list. Each student will share their user name with the teacher, and we will play games on a private server. *Guardians must provide permission for their enrolled students to share their Roblox player information. Animal Crossing: New Horizons Let's jump aboard Dodo Airlines and play Animal Crossing: New Horizons together with other players from across the world who will become your Animal Crossing friends! In our time together, we will be visiting each other's islands, hosting others, taking part in some fun challenges, treasure hunts and more! If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, you will have the chance to visit my Northern Hemisphere island, Auradon, and pick up some unique items that you aren't normally able to collect or pick up. This is a collaborative, learner-led gaming club, and the content will change each week depending on the group and the requests of the learners. Minecraft Bedrock Edition Students will meet, game, and socialize with other Minecraft players. Students will be able to play on devices that are compatible with Bedrock. Students will build based upon a challenge each week. Some challenges will encourage small groups or whole class, while others will encourage students to build independently.

Animal Crossing
PLEASE NOTE: Players will need a Nintendo Switch Online Membership and have been playing for at least 2 days for their airport to open and be able to fly to other islands using a Dodo Code. If you don't have this, you are more than welcome to still join us in our discussions and tip-sharing.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition
Students will need to download the Minecraft Bedrock Edition prior to class.
https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/get-minecraft
Additional Notes:
Students will need to have the app downloaded to the device they will be playing on. Students may Zoom and play on one device but it works best if they play on a different device than they Zoom on if they are mobile.
Depending on class size, learners will be placed into breakout rooms on Zoom, so that they can play in smaller groups and visit each other's islands, as well as visit mine for that week's challenge or a fun game. I will also be dropping into each breakout room throughout the class to make sure everyone is having the best gaming experience. We will not tolerate rule-breaking or griefing in the game, and ask all learners to be respectful of others so that everyone has a lot of fun playing the games that they love. Students will need a device to game on and would benefit from a second device to Zoom on if playing on mobile.
