September 6, 2012 6:28 pm
Video games are an everyday part of our children’s lives today. But many parents have concerns about the time their children spend gaming, and sometimes perceive games as addictive and unhealthy. Others see games as a creative medium, with positive educational benefits. Presented by science writer Angela Saini, this podcast explores many of the issues surrounding the subject of children and video games, and looks at work in this area by the Open University’s Centre for Childhood, Development and Learning. In the first five tracks we hear first-hand accounts from a number of perspectives, and in the final track, Angela Saini chairs a discussion about the points raised.
