Ep. 80: Jacob, Mike, And Gaming + The 4 C's EdTech Bites Podcast

In this episode, I chat with Jacob Luevano and Mike Washburn. We discuss how video games have evolved and how they have affected our students. Teacher mindset as well as how students use these skills in and out of the game are discussed and we also chat how Among Us is used in education by various educators. In addition we also talk some of our favorite video games to play during our downtime. It's a great conversation (no food in this one though...sorry) that will make you want to pick up a controller while listening. Buen provecho!
Also, on December 28th, I will be hosting a 2 vs. 2 Rocket League competition. So feel free to team up with a family member, friend, colleague, or someone from your PLN and reach out to me on any social media platform or email me at edtechbites@gmail.com if you are interested. More details to come in a blog post.
