Dean Groom on Poekemon Go:<\/p>\n

Teachers should care about Pok\u00e9mon Go! \u2013 after from the initial network effects (craze) as it is a good way for kids to develop socially. It isn\u2019t designed for education and certainly presents the all too common accessibility issues of commercial games \u2013 but THIS game leads you to start thinking about why games, play and learning are important \u2013 and how they can be connected with helping children deal with saturated media cultures \u2013 Great!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
