#academic and #TTRPG people, may I please ping your networks? I'm scrying for information on groups / programmes where young learners (roughly Grade/Year 3) play #notech #TRPGs for any variety of #learning purposes. The info is part of the initial #Research for my #phd on #ttrpgkids , #metacognition and #language & #literacies development. Informal or formal, all matter. (No-tech: issues of access; digital divide)
