Over the past week I have been able to try out another activity that I found engaging for students. The activity was using Breakout Edu in a variety of math classes in a variety of ways. Breakout Edu is a lot like escape rooms where basically students work in teams to solve questions that help give clues to open locks to a sealed box. It seems like a pretty simple set up but I observed a lot of great teamwork, question asking, engagement, and problem solving in using this game. I used it along with other solving math questions but this is only one way to do it and I believe that the possibilities with this game are endless and could be used in any class or team building situation. One can go here for information on the kit http://www.breakoutedu.com/ (option to buy pre-made kit or can get list of materials and buy the items yourself) also many examples at the site of how to use it in a variety of ways or can again make up your own activities Here's another good link for some breakout edu ideas http://blog.mariventurino.com/2016/10/student-created-breakout-edu-games.html?m=1. If you have questions or this blog inspired you to try your own ... please let me know. Thanks
. Dean
