BCSD Esports Fall Major was a success! 🎮 60 students competed, showing off their teamwork, communication, & critical thinking skills. Working towards involving even more students for our Spring Major & promoting the middle school to high school to college pathway!

Great game at the new Intuit Dome. LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets, Clippers for the win!

Nice way to end the fall break!

Nothing better on a rainy morning that some fresh baked bread and hot coffee!

Such a great atmosphere at today’s Emerson #Esports practice! Students were fully immersed, leveling up their skills, & collaborating like pros. The focus, the fun, & the team spirit were on full display.

This is what engagement looks like! 🎮

#TeamBCSD

What makes Esports special is the combination of intellectual benefit & real world experience.

In Esports, students game while synchronously communicating in person within an inclusive community!

The evidence is clear, Esports are good for students!

#Esports

Video game use is associated with increased cognitive & intellectual functioning such as improved working memory, response inhibition, & even school competence.

Studies have also found that playing video games cooperatively support cooperation outside of games!

#Esports

Today, my Cohort 18 colleagues & I shared our final presentations to complete the #CITE Certified Chief Technology Officer Mentor Program!

Thank you so much to Jamie Lewsadder for hosting & to our wonderful panel members Joaquin Licea Reina Bejerano and Christine Jones! #CTO

A Liger! It's pretty much my favorite animal.

It's like a lion and a tiger mixed … bred for its skills in magic ✨.

My favorite day of the year is our #TeamBCSD Esports Majors! But, a close second is @KHSD_Official’s Esports Tournaments!!

The amazing Coaches and IT team have been such wonderful collaborative partners! Their program, tournaments and players are top notch!

Be a Multiplier!!
Multipliers are leaders who use their smarts to make everyone around them smarter and more capable!

#CTO #Leadership #EduSky

What is needed now, more than ever, is leadership that steers us away from fear and fosters greater confidence in the inherent goodness and ingenuity of humanity…..

Jimmy Carter

We are all leaders in our own way ❤️

#BeBrave

We have a long history of fearing what we create....

Let’s harness that fear and transform it into preparedness!

#AI #TeachAI #TeacherSky #Edusky

If we ban students' access to AI in our educational spaces....

We create inequities in access!

Now... only those with resources... can access and learn how to navigate this invaluable tool!

#EduSky #TeacherSky

As leaders, if everything works out well, it is the team that earns the credit!

When it does not go well, it is the leader. Leaders own the work and cultivate the culture of the team!

As a leader, stop seeking external validation.

#EduSky #TeacherSky

The word accountability in education is used way more in the US than anywhere in the world!

But do we really want our students to be accountable to us…

Or responsible for themselves?

Because we can not have both…

#EduSky #TeacherSky

I would like to be added please 🙌🏻

No, haven’t tried it yet!

See you there!

Let’s see our classrooms as a place where students author their learning story and we are stewards of that story!

We teach students... not standards... people, not programs!
