Ellie Gibson

Ellie Gibson has spent her life playing and writing about video games.  It is a passion that she enjoys sharing with her son but as a parent she's become interested in the impact games play on the mind and behaviour.  It's an emerging area of science and one that's frequently skewed by fevered debates about whether games are "good" or "bad".  Ellie's theory is that exploring online worlds and connecting with one another through games is far more constructive than endlessly scrolling through social media, and it's a theory she explores with Professor Andrew Przybylski at the Oxford Internet Institute in the hope that he'll agree.Producer: Toby Field for BBC Audio in Bristol

Gaming and Me: Ellie Gibson speaks to Andrew Przybylski

"We are fed a steady diet from the press that screens are bad for kids - if you show people enough of those terrible articles based on terrible research, a proportion of people will have a terrible idea about screens," says Andrew Przybylski, associate professor in the department of psychology at the University of Oxford and director of research at the Oxford Internet Institute.In this Tes Podagogy podcast, he banishes the myths around screen time and tech, explaining that our condemnations are way ahead of the evidence and that we need a more nuanced view of tech in schools.
