At the Future of Education Technology Conference in Orlando, Florida, we explore the exciting potential of esports in K-12 education and its ability to support social and emotional learning (SEL). This session focuses on how gaming is evolving beyond entertainment to become a valuable tool for building empathy, resilience, and communication skills in students. Educators will learn how to design esports programs that align with the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) standards. These programs can take many forms, including after-school clubs, classroom electives, or other creative approaches. We will also highlight a success story from a school in San Diego that is already using esports to make a positive impact on students' learning experiences and personal growth. This presentation provides practical tips and real-world examples to help teachers and school leaders create meaningful learning opportunities through gaming. By integrating SEL into esports programs, educators can not only engage students but also help them develop skills that are essential for success in school, relationships, and future careers. If you are an educator, administrator, or someone passionate about education, this discussion is full of ideas and strategies you can start using right away. Join us to discover how esports can transform education and inspire students to grow academically and personally.

Episode 165 of the Leader of Learning Podcast features John Sowash, an expert in all things Chromebooks, Google apps, and Google Workspace for Education live from the FETC conference in Orlando, Florida. John discusses the future of technology in education, specifically focusing on the impact of AI and the latest developments in Google's educational tools. John sheds light on the challenges and opportunities AI presents in the classroom and shares practical advice for teachers and leaders on navigating these new trends. Dan and John also delve into the exciting advancements in Chromebooks and how educators can leverage web-based tools for teaching and learning.Guest Information:Since 2011, John has worked with schools around the world, providing practical, hands-on professional development and technology integration support. He began his educational journey as a high school science teacher exploring the use of Google Docs and Wikis with ninth grade students. John eventually became a high school principal and helped his school launch one of the first 1:1 ipad programs in the country. When the Chromebook made it's appearance in 2011, he was convinced it was the perfect device for the classroom. John has spent years exploring, testing, listening, and watching the use of Chromebooks in classrooms. This research led to his first book, The Chromebook Classroom, which was released in 2016. In 2014 John started the Google Certification Academy, a program that helps educators earn their Google Certification. A few years later I added the Google Admin Bootcamp to help IT directors effectively manage the technical aspects of Chromebooks and Google Workspace for Education.John's WebsiteJohn's YouTube Channel******************************************************************ACCESS MY INSPIRING RESOURCES:SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNELSign up for my email newsletterThe Teacher's Guide to Becoming a School Leader“Lead to Inspire Growth” eBookFREE “Unlock Your Leadership Potential” course******************************************************************Consider Becoming an Official Show Sponsor - https://leaderoflearning.com/press-kitTalk Studio is my recording platform of choice for video, audio, and even live streaming.
