MMOG Madness!
In a Fox News segment on the dangers of kids losing their “moral compass” through playing online games, David responds to the fears of online kids gone wild by suggesting the ways adults can encourage children to play video games responsibly. As he explains in How Computer Games Help Children Learn, the most important things parents can do is play and talk about video games with their children.
Excellent points. They apply not only to online video games but also to just about anything that kids do online. I have many students (I teach fifth grade) who watch the videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, some are not allowed to–I wonder if their parents have taken the time to check out the site so that they can see that there are many videos on there that are actually educational.
