Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
>>>PLEASE READ BEFORE ENROLLING:
1. The live portion of this class is an hour-long, fast-paced, lecture-and-multimedia-slide presentation, with Q&A breaks as time permits -- you know your learner(s) best, so please consider if the session length and format is a good fit for them. 
2. We will not actually be playing Minecraft together live in class. While individual students may choose to be on their games while attending class, this is NOT part of the class itself. Students are however encouraged to share in-game experiences on the classroom board before and after the live session!<<<

***
In this installment of Minecraft Zoology, we will be checking out the NEW frog mob! After meeting the cute cubey versions of these critters and reviewing their in-game stats and features, we will learn about their real-life frog inspirations (order Anura), and where they fit into the larger Amphibia class (including how they relate to the other amphibian in Minecraft, the Axolotl!).

This single session will consist primarily of slides and multimedia content (including YouTube video clips) accompanied by lecture, but there will be opportunities to ask questions as time permits, and the classroom board can also be utilized before and after class to engage in discussion about the topic. Additional resources will also be posted in the classroom after the live session ends to help further your understanding and study of both the species and concepts introduced in class!

Also, just FYI: I like using my Cool Science Words and exposing children of all ages to proper scientific terminology and nomenclature. I believe it's never too early for children to hear us using our "grownup" vocabulary. (That being said, of course I define these words when they first come up, and will provide supplementary vocabulary sheets in classes with a lot of subject-specific terminology.)

Obligatory disclaimer to stay on the right side of Mojang's brand and asset usage: NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG. CLASS CONTENT PROVIDED UNDER EDUCATIONAL FAIR USE PRINCIPLES ONLY. :)

Learning Goals

summary of in-game features of Minecraft frogs (spawning, behavior, breeding, trust, etc.); basic zoology of frogs (order Anura)

Other Details

Parental Guidance
All my zoology classes are open to discussing animal anatomy, including the reproductive system, and natural behaviors and bodily functions, including predation and mating. Online resources: This class links to information on the official Minecraft website and wiki as well as curated video content on YouTube, and may also direct learners with questions to additional information on pre-screened science-related pages (e.g., a research journal or zoological database). No online account signups are required.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
Any supplementary lesson materials will be provided for free via the classroom, either as downloadable printables/files or links to online resources (web pages, videos, articles, etc.).

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in History from Lindenwood University
Master's Degree in Science from American Public University
I am a zoologist who enjoys sharing my love of the animal kingdom with lifelong learners of all ages. I've also been playing video games since the first gen when they all used to look this pixelated... ;) 

I also have nearly two decades experience as a home education advocate, including homeschooling my own children from preschool through high school. I am a big proponent of flexible learning, individualized education, and supporting fellow neurodiverse learners, so please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or requests for additional resources.  We all learn in our own way and time, but everyone should have the chance to learn about how cool animals are!
