#TechTipTuesday – Esports in MVSD

On Tuesdays, I share a Tech Tip on our social media pages to assist our staff in their use of technology as it relates to their role.

With our Elementary Esports Divisionals just a day away I wanted to maintain this theme and share what esports looks like within the context of MVSD. The following table outlines our “formal” esports presence in the division:

In addition to these teams, we also have multiple schools that have offered esports as an option during choice time, indoor recess, or as part of student-initiated projects.

I am looking forward to continuing to grow this programming option within MVSD and want to, once again, provide a shout-out to MSEA for all of the work they do in this area.

I'd love to hear your thoughts; please leave a comment!
