  • Resumen

  • Last week, parent Nicole and I talked with @TheGamerEducator Ash Brandin about the challenges we can have when our kids love video games. [insert link to previous episode] I had also hoped to ask Ash a lot of questions about what children learn from video games but we completely ran out of time, so I spent a fun day reading 10 books on the topic at the University of New Mexico library (non-students can’t check out books!). I wanted to know a lot more about:
    • Why do children find video games so attractive? And can we use that information to make the transitions away from screen time easier - as well as support their off-screen learning?
    • Even if video games don’t lead children to violence, are they picking up ideas that aren’t aligned with our values?
    • What useful skills are our children learning from video games, and how is this different from school-based learning?
