Episode Synopsis

As parents and educators, maybe it's time to re-think our attitudes to video and computer games. Are they just addictive time sinks that get in the way of more 'positive' activities? Or can they be a pathway to genuine learning experiences, and a tool to have better communication with children and young people? Jess McBeath and young co-host Bill Byers are joined by Andy Robertson, the family video game expert who wrote the Taming Gaming guide for parents and teachers.'
