  • 1.  piloting social skills simulations and video games

    Hi everyone!

    We build pro-social video games that are used by school boards in primary and junior classrooms.   The games focus on social skills, character, bullying prevention, etc. and are evidence based.  The games are a silly and fun blend of content that kids love!

    We'd like to modify them for library use.   Please message me if you'd like to pioneer with us and be a part of the piloting.  We plan on beginning pilots asap so if you are interested please advise soon!  All interested librarians are welcome!

    Thanks,

    Steven

    Steven,

    I am interested to learn more about your pilot program. Do you  have an email address so that I can contact you?

    Your email may be available here, but I cannot find it. Please forgive my ignorance, I am a newbie, and I am learning.

    Thanks,

    Frances
