I'm not familiar with PEGI but I've tought something similiar before. However I noticed that my pupils are playing games that are not suitable for them and parents agree.

# data[].attributes.body
Worth to know there is such a helpful reference.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes I know about PEGI .I believe that all parents have seen these symbols but didn't pay attention to it . I think that before use a game we have to take into consideration of PEGI ,at the same time we have to inform parents about these

# data[].attributes.body
Parents should take this information into account as some games may not be suitable for children.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a reference even though it is not always taken into account.

# data[].attributes.body
PEGI is present on games, but not observed. I don't think either parents or teachers realise what the symbols mean. They just take notice of the age, whether it says 18 or not.

# data[].attributes.body
I knew that PEGI existed but I didn´t know exactly how was the information provided. I think it is crucial in order to control the use of certain games and I consider that in case we are intend on introducing the use of games in our lessons, apart from taking the advise into account, we should also inform parents about the interest of the information provided by PEGI.

# data[].attributes.body
Pegi is not so familiar in my country. Me personally it is the first time that I hear for it. But now that I am aware of this site definitely I will discuss about it with my pupils and I will inform parents. As I saw from the video it is very helpfull.

# data[].attributes.body
I already knew PEGI having already taken the road dell'urilizzo video games in the classroom. I talked with the students in school but not with the parents but in reality I think that giving information to parents is a good thing.

PEGI in Portugal!

I think it is very important to check PEGI, before you start to use some game. It is important for teachers and parents.

But, what if parent are not interested and they don't know anything about computer games? I my country a lot of parents are illiterate for computer and games. They are happy when they see their child "is clicking so fast" - don't care and don't know how to take care about the safety of their child.

Teachers are not enough here.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never heard of PEGI, I think it is a very important resource for the control of games by teachers and parents.

I will use it when I decide to use games in my class.

I was not aware of PEGI. I will definitely have a look. This can help in order that parents feel more comfortable about gaming. Technology evolves really quick, our children are a step in front of us, and this is a non-comfort zone for a lot of parents, even teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi friends, here is what I think on the topic.I always before buying a game I look at the instructions in particular labels that highlight: the dangers, age. This is to make a more informed choice. When the game is for children I always address to games with which you can develop skills and social skills and intellectual. In recent years there is a better feel for the quality of the content of video games: both as story told, and as a representation of the characters. Although, many video games have content of violence and sexuality very obvious. This certainly is not educational for children of young age. The presence of a control by an institution that is able to protect and guarantee the psychological capacities of children is certainly something to encourage and support. In countries where there is no need to do everything possible for it to be created, or at least adopt regulations of institutions of countries where these institutions work well. I did not know the rating system PEGI games but now that I had the opportunity I find it very important and useful not only for educators but mainly for parents. However, even if the final decision on what type of game to purchase and how this can be used by children up to the parents, a more intensive information can only be beneficial to the whole society.

It is first time that ı hear about PEGI and I recommended to parents and also used for my kid

# data[].attributes.body
It's for the first time I hear about PEGI.

# data[].attributes.body
This was the first time I came in contact with the PEGI website; however I have seen the symbols and heard the "talk" about this before among some friends who have kids.

# data[].attributes.body
It' s for the first time that I hear about PEGI and I find it very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to say that I am not familiar with PEGI and I think it is a really useful tool for parents, since they have to be aware of the content on the sites visited by their children, especially for those parents who are not that familiar with Internet, download of games and content.

# data[].attributes.body
I must admit I have not heard of the PEGI before the course. Now I am aware of this organization and as I searched on the website I was very pleased of the information I found there and I am glad that such an organization exists in Europe

# data[].attributes.body
It could be interesting to share with parents at school

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve never heard about PEGI before, but I knew videgame classification symbols as I used to check the suitability of videogames for my son before buying them when he was a boy. PEGI website is very important for parents  to help them make informed decisions on buying computer games based on age range and game content.

# data[].attributes.body
I was not aware of this organization.

It is very useful! I am very glad to hear about it!!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I 've never heard of PEGI until now. I thnk the symbols should be known by atudents, parents and teachears. The safety it's another important question when we talk about games and internet, and I think PEGI can give a hand to deal with this and solve some problems related to games and children.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I did not. And I am not familiar to PEGI.

# data[].attributes.body
I've never heard of PEGI before but I'm glad I did. I think that we to often overlook the game ratings just like we overlook the rating for TV program.

School is the best place for getting the right information about activities that our children are getting involved in. We must educate both the parents and children about playing games in safe environment.

# data[].attributes.body
I know the PEGI website. I explained to my students of 10 years old PEGI symbols when I saw that they used games for boys 18 years old! I also put the explanation in their book so parents could see it. The problem is that parents often do not know about the games their children are doing and do not control well the PEGI symbols.

# data[].attributes.body
I did not have notice about PEGI. In my opinion It is a very important tool for teachers and parents.
As teachers we should teach the students to choose safe and dependable materials.

# data[].attributes.body
To me the safety online is very important and I also think it is important to follow the guidelines given on the games that our childrne play. They are there for a reason and it is essential I think to follow these guidelines. I myself have never heard of PEGI but I downloaded the app and read some on the webpage. I will certainly learn more about this so I can tell others about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Seems to be a good base to access games, should be more known and parents should be aware of this.

# data[].attributes.body
The term PEGI is new to me. However, I had seen some symbols in some games. I think it's extremely important to PEGI. When we put a child to play a game, whatever it is, we have to be aware if this is or is not appropriate for their age. Games are a source of learning and leisure, but both parents and teachers have to be careful when choosing games for children. It is also important to explain to children because they can play some games and not others.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never heard of it, but I find it very useful and good, to control children's acces and involvement online.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not familiar with PEGI but I think that this is an important topic for everybody especially for parents.

I have never heard about PEGI before, but I am familiar to all those symbols. The same symbols are on the box of the games. I have never thought about the symbols, though. Never known the idea behind them.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that when my daughter plays with Playstation games when they start you can see the PEGI symbol with the children age. The same symbol is on the box of the game.

I knew the site, I adviced our student-parents to use the eu version and a few minutes ago I checked out if my 11 years old son could explain me the various introduced simboles ( PROMOTED). Next school year I will purpose a play/ check-up for our students and have a little discussion about it, and why not make a play about on my blog?

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know this website, but is a excellent tool

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video I read about PEGI on the net. At first I thought that I’m going to read about something different but it is similar to ESRB. Both of these rating systems serve for the same aim. They both help us to choose the right games for the right ages. We know the content of the game with the descriptors.

I had never heard about PEGI before, but I found it really useful both for parents and teachers.

I haven’t heard about PEGI, since I view the video. I want to start a project of BYOD next September
with my students and of course I want them to learn by using games.  PEGI will be presented at my parents meeting at the beginning of the year. It’s good information for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Very nice tool, PEGI, I hear for first time and surely parents must come to know it, in order to have power on their kids they must first have knowledge. I found it in GREEK also so we can inform parents right away!

great resource!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think Pegi is a very useful tool; I'm not sure my children's parents knew it, so I 'm going to tell them about next school year.

About Parental Control resource, that could be helpful to reassure parents in order to development the use of tablets and gaming at school, in fact they are worried about losing control on their own children when they are on line.

# data[].attributes.body
I met PEGI in detail last year during the discussion and shared planning of holiday homework, some students have wanted to create a blog where recensivano games online. Among the indicators for the description of the games that have assumed were expected items such as playability, age reference et alii ... From here started a research on time to all elements of the assessment and description of the games and, together, we We wandered into the world PEGI discovering very interesting elements. The findings were then communicated to parents via email: many of them do not know! It was very useful and interesting for all: adults and children.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not familiar with PEGI, but the website page is very interesting to consult before buying games for school.

# data[].attributes.body
PEGI useful when buying games for home or school - also for checking up content of games children get themselves and are playing.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not familiar with PEGI. I looked the page and there are good information about games. Even if I don't know the games the students are playing I can take a look on this page and give them an advice about the game if is it appropriate for them.

And about parental control: I don't think that enough parents have control over their children when talking about web. I'm glad that you show me that page (http://www.pegionline.eu/) so I can forward it to the other teachers and parents.

# data[].attributes.body
I think giving parental guidelines is very important, since parents don't always have the time, resources or energy to find these things out themselves.

On the other hand: I don't think these type of things are always correct. For example, Assassin's Creed is rated +18 because of violent content. Which is true, there is a lot of violence in there. But not more severe than any Hollywood action movie rated +12. So I think I should be able to use Assassin's Creed as a tool for my 11th or 12th grade students (which are 16-18 years old).

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't heard of pegi before this mooc. from now on i will be more observant if a game has a pegi sign or not, especially for my own kids' safety (3 and 5 years old)

It´s very important for us to have an institution
behind our back; it is “bad” enough that we let children use videogames in the
classrooms. Our headmaster will take no responsibility if one single parent
make a fuss about it, so we got to have it covered!

# data[].attributes.body
It's good to know there is someone taking care of safety in videogames by ranking them depending on their contents.

I thought games were ranked by the same productors but that would be wrong of course.

# data[].attributes.body
I had never thought there was an institution ranking games in the same way as films are ranked, but after your video, I think it is a great tool.

First time hearing about PEGI, too. It's great initiative and I think I will mention it at parent-teacher meeting next school year.

Safety is a priority for us and our children and students: I will see and check the website because PEGI could help me learn more and see how to cope with the use of games.

I know that most of my students love games so it is a must to check what to do with them and what they might risk

# data[].attributes.body
More and more often we have currently to cope with internet safety and PEGI is an important tool teachers and parents should know.

# data[].attributes.body
I know about PEGI and have seen it on games in shops. For using games in school I have to play them through first so then I know and don't need the PEGI.I have not looked at the website before but I agree that this would be a good thing to teach children and their parents about.

When I publish apps on AppStore and GooglePlay I have to fill in a form with questions about the content and the app gets ranked by sort of PEGI rating. I also have to have a Privacy Policy document that says that the app doesn't connect to the internet from inside it if the app is labeled as Educational.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfotrunately, I haven`t heard about PEGI before, but I know about parent-control of course. PEGI is a very useful and timely thing. Our childten spend more and more time playing games or communicating - this is the fact. So PEGI can really help us and parents to control but not to ban one and all!

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know PEGI before. But I saw it yesterday when I installed some app. It's perfect for teachers and parents as well

# data[].attributes.body
I don't play very often and, for this reason, I don't buy video games but I saw these symbols on the cover of games for Playstation, XBox ecc... in the shops. I think that this system is very good to help the parents to choose the right games for their children. For curiosity, I searched games with which i played when I was children: some of this game are replicated and they have symbol as fear and violence. I didn't think this! It's very important that the parents monitor the games used by their childrens!

# data[].attributes.body
PEGI is a fantastic discovery!!!! I will definitively study its site and pass it to all my colleagues! Thank you for sharing!!!

# data[].attributes.body
Never heard of Pegi before. I'm really grateful that it has been talked about here. I think that, if I get the chance, I'd like to use this website with my secondary school students. I can't stop them from downloading and using unsuitable games at home but maybe I can bring a little awareness in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't heard about PEGI. Because I don't play video games so I have never came across these. But they are very important for our children and our students. They are not mature enough to use some video games and we should protect them. Thank you for letting me know! I will take all these into consideration

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't know about PEGI before, but I will explore the site. I believe it is something we as teachers and parents need, in order to guide our children with the use of games. The recommendations regarding the age suitability of game content in the form of age labels and content descriptors on game packages are really useful and necessary.

Internet safety and parent control are one of the reasons that I have joined the MOOC "creative use of tablets" and this one. I think it is up to us patrents and educators to show to our children - students that tablets and ICT how to use them safe and creative. :)  I hadn't heard of PEGI before and I will check it out. It is a great tool.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven´t taught. I have dealt with internet safety etc.

# data[].attributes.body
I 'm aware of PEGI almost 15 years ago and i believe that it is a wise indication to follow. Unfortunately not all of parents pay attention to what is proper for their children's age. Definitely as a teacher i always need to find the time to checkout an application before introducing it to my pupils! Whatever the application is whether online or offline. In addition, a video/film needs my approval. It is even unacceptable for children below 13 to own a pc/tv in their bedroom or use tablets/phones without surveillance. Needless to mention the legislation rules about online accounts by children.

I have never heard of PEGI before, but I have been aware of the classification systems. I haven´t taught this topic, but I have paid attention to age calssification when I have bought games for my children or relatives. I am also familiar with the symbols about violent etc. content, as they are used for TV programmes, too.  Unfortunately I know that young people are often indifferent to age classification and some parents agree to buy their children games that they shouldn´t  be playing yet. The classification system and the importance of paying attention to it should be discussed at school with students and parents.
