Play in a Digital World: How Interactive Digital Games Shape the Lives of Children
Flynn, Rachel M.; Richert, Rebekah A.; Wartella, Ellen
American Journal of Play, v12 n1 p54-73 Fall 2019
The authors discuss the impact of interactive digital games on the lives and the play of young children in terms of "Sesame Street"'s express mission to help children become smarter, stronger, and kinder. They conclude that such games have much the same effect as other types of play and call for more research to help use it.
