JoMo’s passion for inspiring kids is making an impact in the classroom

Media production, streaming, YouTube and gaming are at the center of children’s interests and schools need support keeping up with them

JoMo helps teachers address these subjects in the classroom by talking about his extensive background streaming on Twitch, making videos on YouTube and being an active gamer since the 90s. During guest speaking events, kids can learn about:

  • Safe, positive gaming online and understanding the importance of protecting your privacy

  • Balancing screentime with everything else in life such as being outdoors and staying active

  • Recognizing bullying when gaming online and how to handle it

  • How to learn the technical skills needed for media production and creating online content

  • How content creation and personal branding can help open up career opportunities in the future

… and lots more!

“John did a few sessions with our kids who were interested in streaming and making videos on YouTube; they loved it. He had them make their own logos, talked to them about the work involved in creating a personal brand and how this type of work can branch into other career opportunities in the future.”
