eSports in Manitoba
Every Monday I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider.
On Friday I had an opportunity to hear Melissa Burns speak at our MAETL meeting about her role in the facilitation of eSports in Manitoba and across Canada. My familiarity with Melissa began in 2020 as eSports rose in response to the restrictions placed on activities during the Covid-19 shutdowns. I quickly learned that Manitoba has served as a Canadian leader in eSports for quite some time and that Melissa is your go-to person to learn more!
“Melissa is an award-winning Educator, specialized in EdTech, STEM, Music/Arts Integration, and Project-Based Learning from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is the founder/president of Middle Years Esport Manitoba (MYEMB) and Esport Canada, and actively involved in scholastic esports advocacy, research, and publication.“
