Last weekend my youngest daughter, my nephew, and I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves at the theater. We thoroughly enjoyed it -- it was fun on its own terms, but it also rewarded you if you are knowledgable of D&D lore.
And with the timing of the movie's release, I've been grateful for the multiple opportunities to talk about role-playing games in education. As I previewed in my last entry, here are two examples that went online this week:
- I was interviewed as part of KET's Kentucky Edition, which aired "Learning by Role-Playing: How Tabletop RPGs are Changing Education" as part of its March 31 episode. For a timecoded link that leads straight to the segment (21 min, 12 seconds into the show), click here. The segment also includes Justin Gadd and his students at Marnel C. Moorman (Shelby County Public Schools).
- I wrote "Dungeons, Dragons, and Durable Skills: How Tabletop Role-Playing Games Make SEL and Academics into an Adventure for Students" for Next Generation Learning Challenges. The article has resources, examples, and stories from Kentucky teachers.
Special thanks to Sarah Helton at KET and Kristen Vogt at NGLC for helping to make the above happen!
