I heard a new term today: the gaming generation.
For these kids, there's been a new Facebook game invented: "Half the Sky."
It's part of an effort to help women in developing countries by educating people in places like the US through online games. http://www.gamesforchange.org/
My sister-in-law Kelly Arthur and her son Braeden got to say a few words this morning on National Public Radio about how they like the game.
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women World-Wide is a book by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof that has turned into a movement. I first encountered it as an exhibit at the Skirball Center on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles.
Laura Sydell reported on the games-for-change phenomemon for All Tech Considered.
I never tried to do Farmville on FB, but I'm going to try to do Half the Sky, joining the 1.1 million people already playing it.
As Braeden explained, playing the game can trigger donations ($450,000 so far).
Things have changed so much since I sat in second grade studying My Weekly Reader and learning about national and world news. Now kids can jump right in to work for change.
