I was visiting the HS class of Mrs. Gilley today in Bullitt Co. & the norms poster for one of her periods caught my eye. When I asked, Lexie shared that the class remembered RPGs she did last year and wanted more to help them learn. Be still my #kyedrpg heart! #gamebasedlearning #TTRPGsky #EduSky

My heart is heavy with the loss of life and injury in my home city. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those affected, as well as those still sheltering in place.

On Friday, I was a guest of Sterling Harris's Western STEM Magnet HS class "Creating Writing with #dnd." Sharing more soon, but for now, wanted to give this innovative teacher & awesome students a shoutout! #kyedrpg #gamebasedlearning #kygoplay #AllinKY #KYILN #UnitedWeLearnKY #EduSky #TTRPGsky

I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at Highline College yesterday for #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and I gave a new presentation called Decolonizing Your Gaming. Its positive reception has really inspired me and I have some fun ideas that will grow from this.

In #edtechelixirs, I share the tale of librarian Laura Mann from Bernheim Middle School (Bullitt County, KY). She designed a tabletop role-playing game to use instructionally as her sixth grade students read "The Bletchley Riddle"! #EduSky #TTRPGsky #kyedrpg watsonedtech.blogspot.com/2025/10/kyed...

Very cool piece from @watsonedtech.bsky.social Edtech Elixirs on one of our own school library leaders, Laura Mann! watsonedtech.blogspot.com/2025/10/kyed... #KyLChat #SchoolLibraries @kyedrpg.bsky.social #KentuckyLibraries

Flashback to six years ago, when Stephen Reid and Becky Keene launched a set of #Minecraft Education worlds and lessons for #GBL. ALL of this content is now freely available on our website! phygitallabs.com/resources

If we live in a world where this kind of thing can happen at a major league baseball game, I have hope for a more joyful future. (Game was on 9/17/25.) #kyedrpg

I was curious about the Nano Banana image features of the Gemini app (which seems to work okay with Flash 2.5 with an educational domain account),so I tried something with my senior picture. Go J-Town Chargers, class of 1992! @mrpiercey.com would be proud. #AI #artificialintelligence #nanobanana

This school year, students sign-in to our gamified learning hub and vote to make decisions that impact the story and setting of "The Academy." Starting small, as in the pictured example where students help a character choose their class, (Magician, Knight, Beastmaster, Ranger, or Bard.) #EduSky

Just got my copy of "Urgent Care for Educators," where I wrote a guest chapter! Happy to share the story of #kyedrpg, but more importantly,celebrate several OVEC educators such as @collinsclasssc.bsky.social & @breweredu.bsky.social. #ttrpgs #gamebasedlearning #dnd #EduSky #TTRPGsky #LevelUpEDU

Highlights of day 3 of #seriousplay25! Dr. Peck makes #ttrpgs for classrooms to improve literacy. Dr. Rose & Jacobs presented research on play-based practice (and we played a fish game!). @edugamergal.bsky.social brings play to PD. @drpigeon.bsky.social told us about his semester long RPG! #EduSky

Day 3 of #seriousplay25! Time for awards!

A delayed post on Wednesday's #SeriousPlay25 panel, where Kalli Colley and I spoke about #ttrpgs in education! We were so fortunate to be wonderfully moderated by Sana Alimohamed, and joined by panelists Sharon Lee De La Cruz, Phill Cameron, and Huaidian (Daniel) Hou. #kyedrpg #EduSky #TTRPGsky

Some highlights from Day 1 of #seriousplay25! Deb Fuller and Luigi Guarniccio talk about the need for accessibility in games. Bert Snow shared how combining games and primary resources are powerful. #gamebasedlearning #EduSky

In the Day Two keynote for #seriousplay25, Stephen Reid helped us see the power of play. Instead of suppressing it with policy and look it at as merely "childish," let's see what we can empower ALL of us to dream and innovate! #gamebasedlearning #kyedrpg #EduSky #TTRPGsky #LevelUpEDU

Day 2 of #seriousplay25 begins! I'll catch up with some pics from yesterday throughout the day. #kyedrpg #gamebasedlearning #EduSky #TTRPGsky
