Mainly, because I&#8217;m teaching and can&#8217;t swing the time off. So imagine my elation at being asked to be part of an amazing panel of educators talking about their esports programs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BronSt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" title=\"Bron Stuckey\">Bron Stuckey<\/a> from Australia, Global Minecraft Mentor and creator of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamechangergirls.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">GameChanger Girls<\/a>, invited me to be on an Esports Panel!!  I am humbled and honored to be talking alongside Bron, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jdogmav\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Julie Mavrogeorge<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FraserEsports\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">James Fraser-Murison<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was like, &#8220;sure, Bron,&#8221; on the email but in real life I was like, &#8220;WHAT? ME? With all these incredible people!! AGGHHHH!&#8221; Then I saw the day and time and again I couldn&#8217;t attend! This year&#8217;s conference is happening during my last week of school. Even had I not already missed a whole entire week when I got COVID a few weeks ago there&#8217;s just no way I can miss a day this week, our last week of the year, with all that we have going on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bron didn&#8217;t miss a beat. She&#8217;s like, &#8220;can you pre-record you responses,&#8221; and I was like, &#8220;yes I can!&#8221; So even though I won&#8217;t actually be there, nor will I even be live on the Zoom, I at least get to participate as a panelist!! The session is titled, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seriousplayconf.com\/workshops\/making-esports-our-own-stories-of-academic-esports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">&#8220;MAKING ESPORTS OUR OWN: STORIES OF ACADEMIC ESPORTS,&#8221; and if you will be attending Serious Play this year we will be on tomorrow, Tuesday, June 14, at 4:15 pm EST (1:15 pm PST)<\/a>.
