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
A1: Local tournaments and competitions will maintain interest in the lean times. Although it's hard to imagine video games ever boring in a group atmosphere. #esportsedu
#esportsedu I also have my experienced players mentor the newer players. This helps prevent frustration in the new players and keeps them engaged and learning new skills in the game as a team
I love to promote player agency in the team. That is also really good for keeping the momentum going. The players are invested in the success of the team. It is their team, not my team #esportsedu
Hey, everyone! One thing that I noticed this year is — you gotta just let the kids play! Bring the consoles out, fire up the PCs, bring out some board games even — just let them PLAY! #EsportsEdu
