Yes, I loved it!
The author talks about how our kids are "digital natives" while us parents
are "digital immigrants" and that we need to learn to speak their language
<g>.
One of the online games the author suggests is toontown.com so the kids & I
are playing it a lot :)

p.s. if you want to try toontown, let me know and I can send you a link for
a free 7 day trial. You can go to toontown.com yourself and get a 3 day
trial. If you use my link, I get jellybeans, the currency of toontown.

I *hast* and am. I find it courageous (considering how few books like
this are out) and uplifting (considering the books out are more about
*fear* than a fair and balanced look). Kelly is getting me another
book called "Playstation Nation" for me to read to see it from the
other point of few.
I plan to write about gaming in Danielle Conger's e-zine "Connections"
in a future edition.
