[QUOTE="buddhafrog, post: 5117197, member: 86605"] This Dragonkin podcast has six episodes, and I listened to them all yesterday - quick, easy listen. I actually enjoyed some of his other podcasts more (best was the first episode) that included interviews with kids about their gaming experiences. This podcast interview with the teacher wasn't too hard to listen to. The gist is that he plays a "simulation" game every Fri afternoon for the entire year centering around one historical location/period (i.e. ancient Egypt or Ming Dynasty China). He calls it simulation and/or uses other terms more acceptable in the teaching community, but really it is a mix between a LARP/RPG/Card game with resources. It sounds pretty awesome. The kids love it, of course. They spend some time talking about how to make this possible in one's school environment and acceptable by the administration. There was not a lot of detail in how he runs his particular game but there were a few quick suggestions on how to find info if you wanted to do something similar. He mentioned that Origins provides *free* tickets to all teachers - they can go and play games or attend specific educators tracks/lectures on how to incorporate gaming into the classroom. Really sounded excellent. He also mentioned that they had a couple full time staff dedicated to this end. This seems like a very wise investment in order to grow a new generation of gamers! This podcast stopped a couple years ago unfortunately. I'd love to find other kid-specific PRG podcasts. My quick iTunes search today was not successful. [/QUOTE]
