Learners should have a version of Minecraft if they want to share during class, as well as a way to show that gameplay. Learners playing on the same device they use for Outschool can shared directly from their device. Learners playing on another device should have a way to point the gaming device at their Outschool device's camera or point the camera at the gaming device. 

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Minecraft

PARENTS PLEASE NOTE: Ongoing classes are subscription based and renew weekly on Sunday for the following week. If you know your student will miss a class, you can end the subscription to the class through the classroom page, or you may choose to continue enrollment to hold the spot. I cannot issue refunds for missed meetings or hold spots for students who are not currently enrolled. I will work with you to transfer your learner to another section in the week that will work better for your schedule. 

Students love to share their usernames, and due to the nature of screen/device sharing, they will often see the names on each other's screens. Please remind your students not to request each other's usernames or invite other students to their worlds, Realms, or servers without parental/guardian involvement. Adults are welcome to contact each other through the classroom to help their students connect outside of class. If your students sees other learners in the class playing in the same world, those learners likely either know each other outside of class or have connected through parental contact via the classroom.

From this point onward, I am only allowing students to share games played on public servers if they have the comments feature turned off. Public servers like Lifeboat and the Hive may contain discussion in the chat that includes inappropriate language, bullying, or requests for personal information. Please check with your learner about turning the chat feature off while on servers or help them choose servers without a public chat feature.

The amount of share time allotted to each student during class is based on how many student are in attendance (approx. 6 minutes per share in a full 8 student class, longer if fewer students attend that day). Please have your learner arrive promptly! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee they will have an opportunity to share during that meeting. Please note that I do not share recordings for non-academic classes.
