This class does not require any out-of-class work. We do offer optional challenges that students can work on as an extension of what is taught in class. We provide guidance and instructions for students who are inspired to delve deeper into the topic. The purpose of these challenges is to give students the opportunity to supplement their learning with additional material that aligns with their passions and goals. Students may then integrate their learnings into their project and showcase their accomplishments to their classmates. With this approach, students can explore the subject on their own. We give students the opportunity to share what they’ve explored independently with the class.評估
At Connected Camps, we assess each student’s progress by engaging them in reflection of their own work and the work of their classmates. By building in Minecraft and applying concepts taught in class, our students are able to solidify their learnings through hands-on application. Our counselors’ focus is to provide qualitative feedback to further each students’ individual goals and interests, and we do not use letter or number grades. In addition to our in-class reflections, our counselors also provide post-session recaps that offer a summary of what is accomplished each day. Through these summary reflections, students are able to review the material and share with their parents what they did in class. We find this approach allows kids of different interests and abilities to engage with our teachings in a way that is particularly relevant to them.等級

After all, kids learn the most when they're having fun!

These pre-made games are selected by our expert counselors so that all you have to do is let loose and have fun with others! During this class, you will: - Collaborate with friends and engage in social activities to build camaraderie. - Learn how to play in various Roblox mini-games such as obstacle courses, party games, exploration games, and competitive simulations. - Learn how to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts in a team environment. - Discover the value of a supportive community and why it’s important to maintain a positive group environment. Unlike our camps and courses, this is a club that meets once a week with constant fun new things to do! At the start of each session, you’ll get to decide with your class what games we’ll play from a list of vetted activities. Each week will be a different kind of fun as we cycle through everyone’s favorite multiplayer games.

PARENTS: This is a club for kids to connect and experience the bond of a supportive community as they have fun in a positive and moderated environment. Your child will get to experience the advantages of team-oriented exercises as they strengthen their social-emotional and conflict resolution skills. In this class, we incorporate time for students to reflect and share ideas to bolster team cohesion and develop a positive self-reflective practice. As your child sets and meets their goals, they will develop their self-confidence through group feedback while enjoying a game they love. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can connect and play together.
學習目標
— Collaboration Through Teamwork: Our students are encouraged to work together and collaborate towards a common goal! Within our library of mini-games, we have many activities that focus on teamwork and require co-op practice.
— Learn Conflict Resolution Skills: As every student is different, they may encounter differing opinions or wants and needs from another student. Our counselors are available to help facilitate students in finding a common ground during unexpected times of emotional stress.
— Build Character and Confidence: Whether it’s victory or defeat, players’ reactions to the outcomes of a game can influence the team’s morale or their future performance.
— Practice Good Sportsmanship: Whether it’s victory or defeat, players’ reactions to the outcomes of a game can influence the team’s morale or their future performance. To debunk the concept of “angry gamers”, our coaches focus on developing students’ ability to maintain composure and avoid “tilt” which can negatively affect others in game.
Types of Mini-Games:
— Obby (Obstacle) Games
— Team Games
— Competitive Games
— Exploration Games
— Party Games

Internet safety is a top priority for us and our goal is to create a safe, connected community of learners that is moderated by our instructors. Throughout our programs we strive to educate our learners on internet safety and best practices for connecting online.
In our programs, our learners are often making friendships and connections with others in class. While we encourage positive online friendships, we think it’s important to practice these principles of internet safety:
— Do NOT ask others to connect online outside of our programs without first confirming with your parents. Our programs are a safe, moderated space for learners to engage but we can’t moderate connections outside of our classes.
— Do NOT give away personal information which includes but is not limited to: your name, address, phone number, passwords, location, email address, and parental information.
— If an individual asks for personal information, you should inform a counselor or your parent for guidance.

Connected Camps is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2015 with the mission to build a global online community where kids build, code, play, and learn alongside one another. Our programs are designed based on extensive research in the learning sciences. The founders and leaders of Connected Camps, Mimi Ito and Katie Salen, are professors at the University of California, Irvine, who specialize in the design of online learning experiences that are fun, social, and directly tied to academic outcomes. Learn more about the research behind Connected Camps at the Connected Learning Alliance resource site: https://clalliance.org/
One thing that makes our programs unique is our near-peer mentorship model. Our programs are led by young adults and college students, often with the help of high school volunteers. We hire counselors and coaches from top universities in computer science, game development, economics, social studies, and the arts, and train them on how to facilitate project-based learning with younger kids. Our young instructors have the same passion for technology, games, and digital making as our learners, and take on the role of instructors, as well as fellow enthusiasts and relatable role models.
The curriculum for this program was designed by a team of counselors pursuing degrees relevant to the material at hand. The learning experiences in this class are driven by these counselors’ academic expertise in the field, along with their desire to share their passion for the subject with a group of excited learners. All of Connected Camps’ curricula are vetted by the organization’s Product Manager, Matthew, who possesses a Masters in Secondary Education and a deep belief in the power of collaborative virtual learning.
