Competitive gaming is making it to the mainstream! Competitions are selling out venues like Madison Square Garden and online streaming of Esports is as popular as viewing of professional athletic events. Colleges are starting to provide scholarships for competitive gaming. It is time to build the pipeline to prepare students for these opportunities while honoring their interests and valuing their skills. This chat is aimed at building a community around the growth of Esports in grades 6 though 12 which will naturally feed into the college programs. Join us for the weekly #EsportsEDU chat at 7:30 pm ET. It is a 30 minute chat that will have one question / topic each week to guide the discussion. Use the hashtag #Esportsedu or join us via participate.com at participate.com/chats/EsportsEDU

Adding journalism into your esports program is a great way to blend gaming and ELA components while also helping students build usable skills needed in the esports industry. How are you doing this in your program or what are your plans for adding it in the future? #esportsEDU

Currently we don't have an #esports program (would love to see that changed...give it time :) But there's so much potential here. Or even an ELA/game class. Reviews, tech writing, narrative, argumentative--lots of possibilities #esportsedu
Kevin Chaja, Los Angeles, entrepreneur, but also mergecube app developer. I play civ, clash Royale, fallout 4, over watch, league of legends and I’m terrible at every game #esportsEDU

My kids do informational text on games, they are working on walkthroughs, and reviews as well as planing and conducting interviews. They will cover into social media posts and event proposals as they progress #esportsEDU
We’re getting ready to launch a podcast (Or two! Or three!) here in the upcoming weeks! My big focus this year is #talktime — kids love talking #games, we already know this — why not amp up the stakes a bit? Now accepting intro jingles... 😂😭 #EsportsEDU

I love the ideas of walkthroughs in addition to game reviews. I've tried that and plan to revisit. Great for them to contribute back to that community #esportsedu
Podcasts are a cool idea. We do interviews as part of our communications class, and I have gamers in there. I could see this working well with them #esportsedu
Great idea - all of these ideas (walkthroughs, game reviews, podcasts) require students to research, examine games with a critical lens, etc. Great stuff!! #esportsedu#whatkidssay#stuvoice#stuchoice
