For my Digital Artefact I have decided to narrow down my topic and focus on a couple of video games and the positive impacts they have on child development. As the negative side of video games and the impact they have on children are widely spoken about, I think it is important to bring to light the positive impacts. I am focussing on The Sims and RuneScape as my video game choices as that is what I played as a child.


I have decided to layout the blog page in sections of developmental skills I found are positively impacted on within video games. There will also be an introduction blog, and a blog on each game discussing the background information about the game.

I found some informal and formal academic sources that have provided me with insight and knowledge into the positive impacts video games have on a child’s development.
