TGPC -E07- S02 Kevin Jennings and Richard Campanaro - Teacher Gamers teaching history and social studies with RPGs
High school teacher-gamers Kevin and Richard chat with me from Switzerland (Leysin American Boarding School) about using RPGs in history and social science classes, specifically "Creating History" RPGs like Pompeii 79AD, and Kevin's History's Mysteries game focusing around a rebellion in the Aztec empire and eventually the introduction of Hernán Cortés.
Creating historical module adventures with simplified rules as a way to get students excited about History, Social Studies and Theory of Knowledge, the main premise is: creating a stripped-back adventure template to help students and teachers create immersive role playing experiences and narratives.
New musical intro by Zach and Sevan Reznichek.
Music courtesy of the band YOU, from the album "Freedom From The Known" and John Schroeder.
