PAST WEBINAR
Understanding Online Games
Do you have students who seem permanently exhausted? Who light up when discussing games but zone out during lessons? Who appear more connected to their online friends than classroom peers? Understanding gaming culture isn't about becoming a gamer yourself — it's about building empathy and connection with students who live in both worlds.
This 30-minute session will help you decode what's really happening when students spend hours gaming, why it's so compelling, and how it directly impacts your classroom dynamics.
What We’ll Cover:
How to spot the difference between healthy gaming and problematic patterns
The dopamine loops and design features that games use to hook young minds
Signs of cyberbullying or exposure to inappropriate content
Practical ways to guide trusted adults in recognising concerning gaming behaviours
