Tech Talk with Mr Hunt
Online Gaming
There are many positive aspects to online gaming. Your child may play games to pass the time, for escapism, to be creative, problem solve and socialise.
Games can be played on numerous devices, such as consoles, computers, tablets and phones. Games can also have augmented or virtual reality capabilities.
Many games can be played single-player, but online multiplayer gaming is a popular activity for young people. Local multiplayer usually means that your child needs to be connected to the same local area network, for example, a network within the same home.
Online multiplayer mode allows your child to connect with their friends remotely and with gamers of any age from all over the world.
