Games in School Libraries - TV News Coverage

  • 1.  Games in School Libraries - TV News Coverage

    Posted Sep 17, 2015 06:20 AM

    A nice news report out of Morgantown, WV about a high school class using Freedom: The Underground Railroad in the library to learn about slavery and the abolition movement. Freedom was designed by none other than our GameRT Vice-President, Brian Mayer. A great example of libraries hosting games for learning, but also of a librarian who became an author of a game that supports learning.
