#Esports is gaining more and more momentum in schools. Educators have found that esports can increase student engagement, improve communication skills, help students develop SEL skills, and more. Our LACOE EdTech and Innovation will be at the upcoming NAECAD clinic on November 15th at Long Beach City College. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to learn where to start or how to continue to grow for those with an esports team. The best part, we are offering scholarships, while supplies last, to cover the cost of the registration for our educators in LA County: https://lnkd.in/g3JxbFSA For those interested in attending, and are not in LA County, please register for the clinic: https://lnkd.in/gKfHgZG2 #LACOEEdtech #esports #education #engagement #learning #fun

To all of our school districts in Los Angeles County, the California Emerging Technology Fund offers a fantastic opportunity for our Title 1 schools to enhance broadband access to our students, provide funding to enhance parent engagement, and recognize our educators using technology in the classroom effectively.

Learning about #MediaLiteracy with Jennifer LeGarde today at the Los Angeles County Office of Education. This topic is more important than ever today. We receive information from newspapers, television, and social media. The information we consume comes to us at such a rapid pace that we need to help our students understand why information is presented to us in a particular way and why it is important to question and research the content being provided to us. #LACOEEdTech #elibraryservices #education #digitalliteracy #literacy #learn #professionaldevelopment #responses

Had the pleasure and opportunity of attending EdTrust-West #educationequityforum2024 where I got to learn of all the great work that so many organizations are doing to break down barriers and promote equity for all students and families. Thank you Christopher J. Nellum for being a wonderful host and allowing me the privilege of hearing from Nikole Hannah-Jones. Thank you Miguel Leon for the opportunity to share what Los Angeles County Office of Education and the LACOE EdTech and Innovation team is doing to address the AI inequities. #lacoeedtech #equityineducation #aiequity #education #childrenfirst #edtech #movefaster
