💰If you are new to me, use code JENNYTRYIT3 to take $3 off any of my classes!💰 What are you playing? Come and tell us all about it! Are you stuck on the hardest level ever? Maybe we can help! This is a space where we can all share whatever our current gaming obsession is at the moment. Are you creating an epic build in Minecraft? Show us! Are you speed running a Mario level and want to brag about how fast you're doing it, this is the place. Are you making an insane contraption on Tears of the Kingdom? Did you get a cool new skin in Fortnite? Me too! We want to see it! We won't be playing any games in class but that doesn't mean we can't talk about them. In each class we will all have the opportunity to share and talk about whatever games we want (adult/mature content games will not be discussed so that everyone is able to listen and participate fully). Class discussion will be student led. Respect is a must in class, everyone may not like the same games, and that is okay, but we will all listen respectfully to each other and not talk negatively. ***Their may be spoilers depending on the game and where each student is in the game*** My class setting is a relaxed, fun, open space for students to be able to discuss and express their thoughts about what we are learning. I encourage student interaction with not only myself but with their fellow classmates. Everyone is expected to be respectful and listen to one another but also feel like they have the ability to share their own thoughts and opinions. I believe learning should be fun and try to provide a space for that to happen.
Learning Goals
Students will work on communicating freely in a group setting and being active listeners with their fellow classmates.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of California Riverside
Hi! I love to teach classes that are fun and promote discussion and creativity. In all of my classes I mix critical thinking with out of the box thinking so that the kids learn something brand new! I find the best way to do this is by using books, video games, trivia and other interactive components to keep them engaged and wanting to learn.
My passion for critical thought stems from my degree in Philosophy. The integration of pop culture in my classes is rooted in a lifetime of toy collecting, video game playing, and during my time as a staff writer for an online comic book review site. Over the past five years I have created community-based, pop-up craft classes for parents and children that integrate culture and thought, and I am excited about the opportunity to share these types of activities with my students!
Outside of teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband, son and three cats! I like online gaming and spending a lot of time crafting.
