Students will need to have a computer capable of running Minecraft and an internet browser at the same time without difficulties. Students must also have their own Minecraft Java account (NOT Minecraft Bedrock edition, e.g. on a tablet or phone). They also need a mouse (not a trackpad), a camera, and a microphone for communication.

Además del aula de Outschool, esta clase utiliza:
Minecraft

Students will receive information for our own private Minecraft server. Only students from the class will be able to access it to ensure safety. Nonetheless, please do not share the server information with others. Students should have their own Minecraft Java Edition account and will need to provide the teachers with their username prior to the class start so we can give them permission to access it. Other Minecraft versions like console editions and pocket editions for mobile devices will not work for this course.

Parents will also be required to create an account on our secure website. This information can only be accessed by Playful Digital Learning staff. Information taken during account creation, such as e-mail and real name, are only used to identify students and are optional.

PDL Class Policy 

Please verify that your student understands our policy. We want our students to treat us and each other with respect, and we want to make sure everyone has an enjoyable class time.
 
When in a Playful Digital Learning class, please respect your instructor and other students.
 - Follow the teacher’s instructions
 - Do not destroy buildings of other students
 - Be polite and kind when suggesting or criticizing ideas
 - Allow other students to speak

If the class is frequently interrupted or the student is misbehaving:
 1. First time: Verbal or written warning
 2. Second time: Put the student in a breakout room to speak with an instructor one on one
 3. Third time: Kicked or temporarily banned from the Minecraft server or document until the teacher deems the behavior is corrected

Any warnings will be communicated to the student’s parent/guardian.

Please note that the Minecraft server may also be temporarily turned off while students are doing other tasks (such as programming or discussing).
