Hello, my name is Brendan Davis and welcome to D20EDU, a “podcast even wizards reference.” This podcast is a one stop shop for teachers and dungeon masters. Each episode alternates between two sub-series containing discussions on growing as a teacher, and discussions aimed at improving your skills as a dungeon master. Though these may initially sound like completely unrelated fields, they do have one key point in common: storytelling. As an educator with a focus in the field of Social Studies, there are numerous facts and stories that are presented to students. There is nothing saying that class needs to be a dredge of presentations and memorization, instead, class should be a fun, enthralling, collaborative storytelling experience… just like playing a game of dungeons and dragons!
As someone who is innately fascinated by the art of storytelling, teaching and dming naturally intrigue me! The goal of this podcast is to introduce methods of instruction, exposition, storytelling, etc. that can be used in the classroom, or at your Tabletop roleplaying game. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you enjoy D20 EDU!
