Happy Gaming @ Your Library Day!
April 17th, 2008 by Christopher HarrisA few exciting announcements for National Gaming @ Your Library Day.
- To celebrate this great first day recognizing gaming in libraries, I am very happy to also announce the launch of the first episode of the Games in Libraries podcast (RSS feed). I am very excited about being part of this podcast along with Scott Nicholson and other great gaming librarians.
- Also premiering as part of this gaming celebration is an alignment document created by the member libraries of the School Library System of Genesee Valley BOCES that aligns gaming with the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner.
- I got a Wii! I took it down and shared it with my in-laws this past weekend, and they loved it so much they went out and got one for themselves as well. I am hoping that we can use the potential of the Wii for physical education (Wii Sports, Wii Fit), music (Rock Band), and other areas as a way to expand our SLS Game Library to include video games as well as board games.
All in all, a great way to celebrate this first Gaming @ Your Library Day. How will you celebrate?
