This resource is a link to slides of a presentation titled "Esports - A Good fit for Librarians", offered by Shelly Napier, District Librarian for the Slinger School District in Wisconsin, at the Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association (WEMTA) annual conference 2024.
Shelly shared outstanding and inspirational info about her journey of going from a "total newbie" in the Esports world to developing a wildly successful and popular (officially recognized) Esports team at her school, reaching new students who hadn't necessarily found their "group" prior.

Helping student select information resources in a digital/technological environment is crucial as we move forward to library planning. I would use this as part of a lesson on using Badgerlink and, more specifically, Explora resources. This can be used as a culminating activity after you have already taught the students how to use Explora and can be used to assess how well the students have learned what you have taught. Pair children up to complete the scavenger hunt as teams. Provide prizes or badges for completion.

This is a two-part interactive game for middle school students that introduces them to the concepts of globalization and interdependence. In the first part, the students discover how clothing is sourced globally. The second part describes the issues related to the pieces and parts of a MP3 planner (this part is a little dated, but I have been able to connect it back to cell phones).
Games can be played as a group with the utilization of a Smartboard type device.
The resources includes an educator guide and integration with Google Classroom. I have used it as part of a larger lesson segment in Business Exploratory on Corporate Social Responsibility and Globalization.

Controversial issues are complex topics that are grounded in conflicting values or opinions and can result in emotional reactions and public dispute. Schools may avoid difficult issues that could bring forth feelings of fear, confusion, or anger. Addressing these issues, however, can motivate students to learn and make relevant connections to their local and global communities. For students to become active and engaged citizens, they will need civil discourse and reasoning skills, as well as tolerance, empathy, compassion, and an interest in civic knowledge.

In Headlines and High Water, players take on the role of a young journalist in the fictional town of Twin Lakes, where the annual Cherry Festival is thrown into chaos by a catastrophic flood. The player is tasked with interviewing locals and writing stories to keep the town informed—all while staying safe during the town’s worst flood of the century.
Throughout the game, players build trust with the townspeople and interview a cast of quirky characters—like Birdie, the aptly-named nature conservationist, and Fred Finkler, the gardener who’ll talk your ear off. In the end, the player’s reporting will determine if Twin Lakes is still around a year from now, or if future floods wash the town right off the map.

This lesson introduces students to lateral reading, a strategy for investigating who's behind an unfamiliar online source by leaving the webpage and opening a new browser tab to see what trusted websites say about the unknown source. Students watch the teacher model lateral reading and then have a chance to practice the strategy to determine who is behind a website and, ultimately, whether that website is trustworthy.
Note: Civic Online Reasoning is motivated by three driving questions: Who's behind the information, What's the evidence and What do other sources say? This lesson is an introduction to the first concept. Registration is required and free.
