Are you the guardian of a creative, passionate, curious, relentless, artistic gamer kid searching for a guide? Tenacious Gaming: Armoring the Guardians is an invaluable resource for parents and educators of the next generation of gamers who now face the challenge of making the vast and exciting universe of gaming safe and accessible for their children. The author starts by acknowledging traditional concerns and then leveling the balance through experiential anecdotes and strategies for avoiding pitfalls. She moves on to explain the social, psychological, educational, and societal benefits associated with gaming. This book is not written for pro gamers who have already been there. It is a book that helps parents and teachers see around corners they may not yet know exist. The author is an educator who also happened to study game design in graduate school for several years. She does not currently work in the game design industry. Her primary claim for a voice in this arena is her experience as the mother of an avid gamer and budding game designer. The book includes a brief survey of the following topics: the History of Gaming; Concerns & Counterpoints; The Cognitive, Social, Psychological, and Emotional Benefits of Gaming; Educational Applications; Risks and Challenges; How to Enhance Safety; The Future of Artificial Intelligence; Active Gaming for Fitness; Virtual Reality; How Parents and Educators Stay Current; The Importance of Play; Educational pathways for Future Developers. One of the best things about this content is the positive perspective it promotes. In a world filled with naysayers, this book sheds a helpful light.
