Technology Requirements ● To take advantage of all this course has to offer, we ask that students have access to a desktop or laptop computer, a printer, and a stable internet connection. ● Students will also need access to an account in the Zoom app in order to join their live class sessions. ● This course uses Minecraft on Friday as part of a final mission. As such, we ask that students have Minecraft: Java Edition downloaded on their desktop or laptop computer to access our private EXPLO server. The EXPLO Minecraft world is not accessible via chromebooks, game consoles, iOS or Android devices. The software is free to download, and detailed instructions can be found here. EXPLO will provide Minecraft usernames/accounts to use in class on Thursday if needed for your download; no previous experience with Minecraft is required. Curious about the EXPLO lanyard? All EXPLO course boxes include an EXPLO lanyard. We invite students to wear their lanyard during class as members of our online community. Students are also encouraged to make themselves an ID card for their lanyard - check out the “Make Your Own EXPLO ID” project on the Virtual Quad (accessible via your online dashboard!).
