Guided Program

Spaces in our Guided Program open in September and January, up to 20 classes per term.

• At the current time, participation in the program is free, but teachers are required to attend or watch the recording of that year's Information Session.

• Priority is given to Ontario teachers/students, but if space is available, any English-speaking class may participate. 

• At the current time, we do not have the ability to support classes in French, although we can guide you to accommodations to change the Minecraft game and world language to French on request.

To be informed when the next Guided Program opens, sign up for our School Visits newsletter or check back here.

Note that these are for Guided Program participants only. If you attempt to book services without applying and receiving admission into the program, your request will be declined.

Be sure that you can access the student site from a student device, and ask your IT department to whitelist it if you can't.

Start this check early. It may take a while to process if your school's filters are blocking it.

Our Teacher Support Padlet has a Q&A section where you can submit questions, as well as sections for Frequently Asked Questions, ROM Resources, and Minecraft's Troubleshooting articles for most common problems. 

Book your Virtual Visits on our Bookings Page.

• Make sure you are booking times for the Sustainable Style virtual visits

• You will receive a bookings system confirmation. Save this email as you will need it if you want to reschedule. 

• Once a visit is booked, you will also receive an email with links to your Zoom Visits. Add these Zoom links to your calendar to join the visit on the day.

• The Team will manually add your Zoom links to your bookings system appointments as well.

Your Padlet support boards are the biggest difference between the guided program and the independent program. They are what allows your museum educator to provide 1:1 asynchronous support to you and your students.

• Your ROM educator will create your board and add you as an administrator. Once you are an administrator, you will have control over all security features

  • • We will add you using the address provided on your application. If you wish to use a different email for Padlet, please contact your assigned educator and let them know.

    • You must accept the email invite to access your board.

• You can decide how you want your students to access the board, or if you want to be your class liaison.

• We will provide a template layout for you, but you can customize your board as you wish.

• Additional resources are available on the Teacher Resources Board

• Watch Sarah's 1-hour Padlet Training for Teachers from Logics Academy.

If you need additional 1:1 Support, Book a Support Session with your ROM Educator

• Note: This is a Teams meeting for you and your ROM educator. This is not an extra session for your class.
