Episode 148: It’s All Fun and Games: On Childhood, Play, and Video Games (Right click and save as to download, or find us on iTunes, BlogTalk Radio, Stitcher, Google Play, or TuneIn).
This week are joined by early childhood education specialist Heather Bernt (@ece_nerd) of the Cause An Effect podcast and Lauren Woolbright, Assistant Professor of New Media Studies at Alma College. We had an amazing conversation about the role of play in early childhood and elementary education. We shared a lot about our own experiences as educators and parents, and had a lot of fun while doing it.
(During the episode I mistakenly said that this was episode 149 when it is indeed episode 148. Sorry for the confusion.)

It should be all fixed!
