Description

For this session I would like to follow a 'flipped' classroom model. Participants will have access to resources ahead of the conference, detailing ways they can turn existing content into escape room type games. At the conference there will be 3 stations. One will contain escape room resources. Another will let participants try to crack real escape room lessons I have created. The third will provide an opportunity for educators to begin creating their own escape puzzles. I will be demonstrating equipment from Breakout.edu, but this is not required for teachers to make their own puzzles. Ultimately I hope to show teachers that collaborative puzzle solving can increase engagement for all students. Following the session, I would encourage participants to share any puzzles.they have constructed.
