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. Recent research supports the positive benefits of playing video games:

This post caught my attention because many of my students are obsessed with Among Us. When you try to include the students' interests in your lessons or even by just having conversations with them about the things they enjoy, learning becomes more enjoyable and strengthens teacher-student relationships.
