Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Roblox Gaming
It isn't something I have personally done, but it is also incredibly popular among the kids here too. I do know that you can create your own game for kids to play, so that would probably be something to look into if there was a specific program theme in mind. Since they can be accessed and played in perpetuity, I think it would probably lend itself well to passive programing with rewards given by the library for certain achievements in the game or even something as simple as a publicly posted "leaderboard." I'm not sure how technical it is to make games on there though.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Roblox Gaming
Has anyone used one of the Roblox games for a gaming program for elementary school or middle school children? Looking for recommendations. We had Minecraft.edu on each computer, but we got new computers and our tech person does not know how to get Minecraft back on the new devices. Roblox seems to be popular, but there are so many games.
