Hello, I'm Mr. John! I am a teacher with 10+ years of professional experience in the classroom and online! With an ongoing subscription to this 55 minute group class, learners will have ongoing free access to my Minecraft Education Mr. Johncraft license so that they can join me and others in a safe and secure world for our group class AND practice their skills independently with the game between classes. Minecraft Education can be downloaded for FREE on PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, and Chromebook. Most learners in this group will be exploring block based coding, however, I can differentiate for learners who are ready for Java and/or Python, too! Each class will begin with a tutorial that we will all follow along with together. Next, we get a chance to be creative and use the new coding skill we learned about in a fun and interesting way! I’ll always make suggestions but I encourage learners to get creative at this time! At the end, we’ll have a chance to talk about what we did and show off a bit. Tutorials for coding projects like Chicken Rain, Flower Trail, and Super Digger will be covered. Session topics will also be decided based on learner interest , as well as sessions that focus on things like more super powers, castles, pixel art, roller coasters, building, and music! Learners are not allowed to intentionally destroy the work and creations of other learners in the world... we will be working together! Appropriate language is also expected during the class. Any learners who are breaking the rules will be placed in Visitor mode and/or muted. If a learner repeatedly breaks the rules, they may not be allowed in the class going forward. Lastly, I also offer a 25 minute and 55 minute 1-1 tutoring class for Minecraft: Education Edition that you can check out for even more guidance and fun! I hope to see you soon!

My love of learning in my own life drives my passion for teaching. All learners are welcome! I encourage ESL, neurodiverse, and any other learners who think they may benefit from my programs to try them out!
With a room full of instruments, you’ll likely experience fun performances throughout our classes that can help keep things exciting and unique. I usually spend time in nature and with my family when I’m not teaching or jamming! Let’s learn together on Outschool!
