Upcoming Randolph Community College Class Focuses on Choosing Video Games

The holiday shopping season is fast approaching and at the top of the wish list for most children and teenagers is a new video game. As a parent or a grandparent, how do you know what to buy? Randolph Community College is offering a one-session class that might help.

"How to Buy Video Games for Children" is designed to help adults make better decisions when buying video games for their children or grandchildren. "I think, often times, children want games that they are not mature enough to play," said Tina Dixon, coordinator of computer programs for the Continuing Education Division at RCC. "This class will help parents understand game ratings."

In addition, there are so many gaming systems available, it is difficult to know the difference, and most games and accessories are not interchangeable. This class will help shoppers make those distinctions.

Participants have a choice of two class times: from 9 a.m.-12 noon on Friday, Nov. 6, or from 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3. Both classes meet at the Asheboro Campus, and the cost is $10.
