Video games often get kind of a short shrift when it comes to how valuable they are considered, versus a being a waste of time.

Games can teach you how to persist through obstacles, for example, or how to cooperate with people towards a common goal. They can drive learning and creative thinking.

These are the kinds of topics I will discuss with this week's guest expert, Jonathan D. Harrison.
