    This is awesome! It presented a point of view that was very interesting and makes you go hmmm... I like the idea that the games actually have a purpose. The tie in with print was especially thought provocing.

    My question, as a teacher-librarian using these ideas when or where does the transference of applying critical thhinking skills to to the real world take place? I find that many children get caught up in the digital as opposed to using it as a tool for learning.
