Participate and share: Poster 
Participants will identify the pedagogical supports facilitated by game-based learning (engagement, motivation, etc.); connect participation in eSports to college and career readiness and increased academic engagement; be prepared to address challenges with the implementation of game-based curriculum; and explore how to integrate games within a classroom learning experience.
Participants will view information and engage in conversations about how eSports and game based learning impacts student engagement, motivation and academic achievement.
Resources will be provided including links to the K20 Center's repository of educational games, information regarding eSports scholarships, and connections between eSports and careers.
