New Book ‘Esports in Education’ Free During FETC on Amazon Kindle Book author Paul Richards is releasing his latest book “Esports in Education” at the 2020 FETC show this year. A limited amount of signed books are available for free at the PTZOptics booth #4906. The new book reviews the intersection of esports and education where innovation and excitement are flourishing for students, parents and educators. The team at the PTZOptics booth is giving away copies of the new book and demonstrating the new auto-tracking cameras for lecture capture. The PTZOptics team is demonstrating PTZ cameras and video production gear for producing esports tournaments. In the book "Esports in Education," Richards draws on his
experience with broadcast clubs to draw on collaboration and career path opportunities for students involved in esports. The book includes a case study with a recent esports tournament which included a 100 percent student-run broadcast team in NYC. The book outlines the innovative esports program at the Center for Educational Innovation along with a host of other schools to provide real-world perspectives on what is working in esports and education today. As educators continue to embrace the esports movement, students will benefit from learning opportunities that are fueled by passion, excitement and opportunity. Free digital copies of the book are
An Invaluable Tool for the 1-to-1 Environment The Plano Independent School District, which serves students in the North Texas community of more than a quarter-million, has recently invested in a largescale 1-to-1 computing environment in its quest to connect all of its teachers and students to the advantages of digital technology. At the same time that district administrators recognized the benefits
that universal internet access from a 1-to1 fleet of Chromebooks and all of their associated resources would bring to their students, they were also wary of the potential for digital distractions. Instant Access with Multiple Login Options To manage the Chromebooks (and the
EdTech Show Daily available at www.ptzoptics.com/book. Esports and education takes us inside the world of esports in order to understand the new challenges and opportunities that are helping to change modern education. From a perspective of acceptance and encouragement, parents and educators have the chance to find common ground that can help students excel in a sport they are passionate about. Competitive video gaming today already holds the power to create heroes. Athletes who are admired for their determination and excellence are no different whether they are playing on a field or in a computer lab. The tremendous growth in esports is being fueled by the internet, live streaming and global economic demand. The need for a
strong educational support system that will help ensure positive student health educational and development. This book reviews the history of video gaming and sports to uncover how esports have evolved from a teenage pastime to the international stage. Richards brings to light opportunities for technology-related career paths that students and educators are finding in the growing esports industry. Richards explains how modern esports games require players to manage multiple economies, respond with splitsecond reaction times and communicate with groups of players.
potential for distraction), Plano finds ClassLink invaluable. It's a single sign-on tool that's used by nearly everyone every day. “Beyond providing one click access to the products we use to learn, teach and do the work of schooling, we also glean invaluable insights about how often other tools are being used,” District Administrators Dan Armstrong and Matt Frey recently told THE Journal for an article published by the magazine in March of this year. Using ClassLink, administrators can push out a clickable link to the resources they choose to make available to students. Students find the links on their personal “my apps” page, which encourages them to explore the resource. “Simply placing launchable tiles on our users' custom app dashboards serves to promote resources in a way that we haven't been able to achieve before now,” said Armstrong and Frey. “With quick cards, an authentication method that leverages QR codes instead of keyboard strokes, even our youngest students can access hundreds of instructional applications within seconds – even if they've never experienced a traditional login before.”

Compatibility with Google's G Suite for Education Plano ISD has been using G Suite for Education's productivity and presentation tools since well before the district began thinking about implementing its 1-to-1 computing environment. Google Drive, Docs and Classroom all held a prominent place in this district's digital ecosystem. Reliance on G Suite for Education has grown since the Chromebooks were rolled out to students. ClassLink's analytics module shows that Google Classroom was launched more than 700,000 times between August 1 and March of this year. “That's a big number that doesn't even account for logins that occur outside of our Single Sign-On portal,” Armstrong and Frey said.

Genius Plaza’s Path to Democratizing Education Do you remember your time in school? Do you still keep in touch with classmates from middle school or high school? Do you still talk to your friends from college? You might have answered these questions without giving it a second thought, but it’s not the case for many kids around the world. According to the United Nations, over 265 million kids around the world do not have access to education or are currently not enrolled in school. Twenty-
two percent of those 265 million kids are of primary school age. What are the reasons? Some children live in conflict zones; others live in impoverished communities; some children might not be allowed to go to school because they’re girls; others don’t attend school because their families need them to work to bring that additional income to support the family; there might not be a teacher or a school, etc. The UN Educational, Scientific, and
