Read the article "Your Brain on Video Games" by Steven Johnson. Next, explore the scholarly research on this topic in more detail in the article
by Granic, Lobel & Engels. Then move on to the last part of the assignment, watching Jane McGonigals TED Talk. Finally, go to the discussion

review, in your discussion board post.)
Some ideas to consider:
Did you have a point of view about online gaming before you reviewed this weeks readings and videos? Has your point of view shifted?
If you are a gamer yourself, talk about your personal experience with games in relation to the readings.
If you are a parent or an aunt or uncle, would you allow or encourage kids in your care to play computer games? Why? What ideas in
the readings influence your point of view?
