Creating the Next Generation of Problem Solvers With TTRPGs: Recording from Origins 2025
During Origins 2025, I was part of the Education & Game Based Therapy Conference that was nested inside the convention! I recorded some of the talks that I did as part of that event, and I’m happy to share with you the second in a series of audio + slideshow presentations from this year’s Origins.
You can find the video here, which covers a ~10 minute example on applying the problem solving process within TTRPGs, and a ~40 minute Q&A where Jennifer Genova and I talk about in-class and at-home experiences in applied TTRPGs.
And… if you want some other content to explore while you listen or for afterwards, check out the links below the presentation!
