Xander is completely taken with Minecraft. If you are not familiar with it check this video out! Minecrafters span a large age range, and it has been an amazing learning opportunity for Xander.
He connects with a small group of home schoolers who Skype and play the game together, on our own secure home servers. This is just amazing to watch!! They are working together, learning, laughing and collaborating, to create and explore together.

One of our amazing moms sent us a link to the Homeschool Buyers Co-op for a group purchase opportunity for a Minecraft Mod Building Course from Youth Digital. They are using the Java programming language to create their own Mod!!
The course is for children 8-14 years of age, and they work through multi lesson modules to complete the course. We really loved the idea because it is very open ended, and you can work on the modules at your own pace and schedule. Purchasing through the Co-op gave us a 45% savings on the course.
Xander is beyond excited, and has started the initial introductions and setup for the course.

Thanks for visiting with us!
