in this seventy-second episode of ventriloquy, i begin exploring the relationship between playing games and learning.
specifically, i contemplate the role that role-playing might have on shaping ways of knowing and ways of being.
along the way, i draw inspiration from - inter alia - one of my teacher-trainees, a first-century Roman poet, and even an anonymous contributor to CNN.
don't panic!
this 3.8 MB download really isn't as mind-boggling as it sounds...
... or is it?
