Joining me (at their own speaking times) are Dr. Lawrence Kutner (co-author of “Grand Theft Childhood” and Marc Prensky (author of “Don’t Bother Me Mom … I’m Learning!”).<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank the ALA for this wonderful opportunity and am happy to help librarians guide parents to the best videogames on the market. What kinds of games does GamerDad recommend? The most educational, sometimes. The most fun? Always. Here’s their blurb and here’s a link to the website.<\/a><\/p>\n

ALA TechSource<\/a>, in collaboration with the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL)<\/a>, the Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)<\/a> the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC)<\/a>, and the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA)<\/a>, announces the second annual Gaming, Learning, and Libraries Symposium<\/em> to be held in the Chicago area on November 2-4, 2008<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
