Danielle Rourke, Senior Higher Education Strategist at Dell Technologies, joins me today! We discuss how esports can teach similar skills as traditional sports, and can reach more students(including neurotypically diverse students), what tools are out there, and how different levels in education are responding to esports. Danielle also shares an insane amount of good research in the field, and tells us that laying down breaks aren't as effective as walking around breaks (sad for sloths like me).
