While I&#8217;ve been a gamer since high school (in every form, tabletop, board games, video games) I only recently started game design and only recently started exploring gaming as an education and cultural tool. Gaming is becoming widely more recognized as a good modern tool for all kinds of concepts, but most of all, for socialization. Recently our local library hosted a D&amp;D session for kids, GenCon has trade days that focuses strongly on librarians and educators, and my own high school, which my daughter Brosia Lee now attends, has an after school D&amp;D club.<\/p>\n<p>So in that spirit I&#8217;m going to start integrating gaming content to the blog. An index will appear soon, and I&#8217;ll be adding game reviews to our content.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a place to start, look below.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ph_pcontent3_4_MainHeading\" class=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thejournal.com\/articles\/2017\/07\/07\/fantasy-role-playing-game-motivates-students-to-rely-on-each-other-to-learn.aspx\"><strong>Fantasy Role-Playing Game Motivates Students to Rely on Each Other to Learn<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"BlogItem-title\" data-content-field=\"title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danielhkwan.com\/letslearnsomethingnew\/edugaming\"><strong>Why you should be using tabletop RPGs in your classroom (and beyond).<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aestranger.com\/role-playing-games-educational-tools\/\"><strong>How to use Role-playing experiences as an educational tool<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-components-Post-components-PostTitle-___PostTitle__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqed.org\/mindshift\/53071\/how-schools-spark-excitement-for-learning-with-role-playing-games\"><strong>How Schools Spark Excitement for Learning with Role Playing and Games<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"routes-Site-routes-Post-components-Post-components-PostTitle-___PostTitle__title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqed.org\/mindshift\/51790\/how-dungeons-dragons-primes-students-for-interdisciplinary-learning-including-stem?fbclid=IwAR2Eq90Xi-hvDIQA6bUa5-BtxHD8DlnFnI9IxjrsNWzyOxVagujXCCbFB6o\">How &#8216;Dungeons &amp; Dragons&#8217; Primes Students for Interdisciplinary Learning, Including STEM<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inversegenius.com\/on-board-games\"><strong>On Board Games Podcast<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classcraft.com\/blog\/features\/rpg-classroom\/\"><strong>Creating an educational RPG adventure for your classroom<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August I attended my first GenCon in Indianapolis, IN.
