Digital games: media education information and tips for parents and teachers
Digital games are firmly anchored in young people's everyday lives, as shown by the results of the JIM Study 2017. However, many educators find it difficult to keep track of the increasingly complex and multifaceted world of digital games. To help, we have therefore put together a selection of media education information.

In cooperation with the Spielatgeber-NRW, klicksafe provides comprehensive information on the topic of digital games on various genres, platforms, legal aspects, game trends, fascination and addiction. We summarize the most important tips for parents on the topic of digital games in the klicksafe parents' area as well as in the matching info flyer. klicksafe also dedicated a webinar to the topic of "Digital games in pedagogical practice and media education".

On the website of the Spieleratgeber-NRW, interested parents and professionals can find pedagogical assessments of digital games with age ratings and other information worth knowing about fascination, youth culture, media education and didactics from different perspectives.
