A few weeks ago, I blogged about my gaming club in Video Games for Relationship- and Team Building. It is still going very strong. Students from the three schools where I teach gifted students look forward to it all week long. We started with Fornite Creative but now they have moved onto Rocket League and Among Us. This is their gaming club so they get to decide the game.

In fact, it is so cool that it even glows in the dark!!

Eric Iversen. K-12 career awareness not keeping up Career awareness has become an established, defined activity in the K-12 school day, embedded in state learning standards across the country.
