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.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Nicholas Poignant<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Youth Services Librarian<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Bradford PLD<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Bookman Old Style",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div><div id="ydpc540beeayahoo_quoted_4304543289"><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>On Thursday, October 7, 2021, 12:20:14 PM CDT, Lisa Waskin <<a href="mailto:lisaw@uproc.lib.mi.us">lisaw@uproc.lib.mi.us</a>> wrote: <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div id=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468><div><div><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Nick,</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Is this anything you have done, or have knowledge or ideas on how to do it?</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>MOM</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#26282A'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#26282A'> Michlib-l [<a href="mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org">mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>EMAIL TEAM via Michlib-l<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, October 06, 2021 2:46 PM<br><b>To:</b> Michlib-l ListServ <<a href="mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org">michlib-l@mcls.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [Michlib-l] Roblox Gaming</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div><div><div><p class=ydpc540beeayiv9729584468msonormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:#26282A'>Has anyone used one of the Roblox games for a gaming program for elementary school or middle school children?
