Video games are everywhere. The industry continues to grow, and the games themselves do serve a purpose.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll meet Jane McGonigal, a game designer who creates games that educate and heal. You can listen to Jane's TED Talks Here and Here.

We’ll also hear about a new cybersecurity task force in Florida, and spend an Academic Minute going on a virtual reality job interview.
