This 3rd episode is a small one about what is an RPG? A lot of what you will hear on this podcast is about an immersive education technique called Role Playing Games. This episode describes what a role-playing game is, how it works in different formats, and how easy it to place them in your classroom. It's a quick intro before you begin to hear some interviews that talk a lot about Role Playing Games.
