Starting May 26th at 4pm EST, 8BitLibrary will lead a discussion using #libgaming as the hashtag on Twitter.

This weekly series is designed to discuss gaming in libraries and create positive steps towards making connections between libraries, digital communication, gaming, education, and the new media.   The first few sessions of #libgaming will be moderated by 8BitLibrarians Justin Hoenke and JP Porracco.  If you are interested in moderating a session of #libgaming, please contact 8BitLibrary with your idea and we’ll get back to you.

Our first topic:

What can we do to make positive steps towards getting gaming recognized as a valid source of literacy? What are we doing currently that is and isn’t working?

Stay tuned to 8BitLibrary every Wednesday for the announcement of the topic being discussed that week.
