I'm a elementary librarian- it would be fun to make a puzzle exploring an online database or library resources.

2020-03-05 15:41:05 UTC

could use as a test review in math class

Locks in the Media Center

2020-03-05 15:41:06 UTC

I like the idea of using this as a way to familiarize students with library layout and how to use the catalog and Dewey to find books.

Im so excited to use these resources! Learned a lot! Thank you and great job! I can now make my own breakouts and spend my money for other sources in TPT! Yay!

Reviewing for tests

2020-03-05 15:41:11 UTC

I love the idea of using snote to give kids codes or questions. I also love the idea of using library call numbers.

As an Instructional Leader, I can't wait to share this with my high school staff. I have a certain English teacher who loves breakouts, and this will open a new door for her students.

I'll use this to unlock the next unit in my math curriculum as kids move through at their own pace. Thanks!

Cross-Curriculum

faggiolid — 2020-03-05 15:41:26 UTC

For high school, before final exams, you could create a giant breakout between cross-curriculum breakouts. Keep in mind, when you close a google form, it does not save.

Would love to do this as an intro to resources in my media center.

2020-03-05 15:41:32 UTC

Could use for stations to tell them where to go next

2020-03-05 15:41:32 UTC

Use to have the students move through the syllabus

2020-03-05 15:41:33 UTC

Check ins and peer review.

Review and Chew

2020-03-05 15:44:03 UTC

could be used before quizzes and tests to give students a brain break in between solving different problems. Could be used to scaffold for students that are advanced.

Grade Level Mtgs

dfreer1 — 2020-05-28 19:44:33 UTC

Such cool, outside of the box 📦 ideas! 💙

Student Engagement

2020-05-28 19:44:54 UTC

These tools are awesome for student engagement. Would love to have more sessions about virtual breakouts.

I love these ideas. I can't wait to try them myself. I like the jigsaw puzzles and the lights out activities.

2020-05-28 19:45:06 UTC

Escape Room

2020-05-28 19:46:49 UTC

I can't wait to update my escape room to digital websites!

Great learning tools! I am looking forward to trying them out with my classes!

2020-05-28 19:48:25 UTC

Ideas

grace_cole — 2020-05-28 19:48:35 UTC

I'm excited about the Rebus puzzle. Also, I had a thought about having students make their own Google site about what they are reading.
I'm looking forward to trying at least 1 breakout next year.

Escape Rooms

2020-05-28 19:50:06 UTC

My students absolutely love doing escapes. We use boxes but I want to create some digital ones myself.

Math

2020-05-28 19:50:50 UTC

Would like to check out Rebus... anything that is simple :)

Exit Ticket

cbstallings — 2020-05-28 19:51:16 UTC

Love all of the ideas and resources. I plan to use it as review of big ideas.

Scavenger Hunt

2020-05-28 19:51:41 UTC

This would be a great review to the layout of the media center for my upper grade students.

Camilo Gamboa

2020-05-28 19:52:10 UTC

Great ideas for vocabulary approach, reinforcement activities and do nows

Escape Rooms

2020-05-28 19:52:27 UTC

I've been through workshops on breakouts before and today I finally understand the platform and format in which to create one. I finally have a clearer picture of how to build one!

Escape Room

2020-05-28 19:52:40 UTC

Examples of literary terms/techniques are the answers and the students break out why finding the correct examples in reading selections.

Escape the Music Room!

susan_gardner — 2020-05-28 19:52:43 UTC

Solve music rhythm math problems, identify instruments, etc. Awesome activity!

Thinking of ways to use at our beginning of the year staff meeting to welcome everyone back and build teamwork

2020-05-28 19:52:50 UTC

Great New Idea!

2020-05-28 19:52:59 UTC

I did one of these in my classroom with my 1st graders before the school closure and they ejoyed it. This would be a great way of allowing them to keep doing these. Thanks for al the info!

Great ideas a new adventure in math

2020-05-28 19:53:00 UTC

2020-05-28 19:53:06 UTC

Great resources and ideas.

Novel Scavenger Hunts

charlotte_hill1 — 2020-05-28 19:53:08 UTC

Scavenger Hunts with Novels....embed questions, etc.

ELA

2020-05-28 19:53:18 UTC

Love this idea and will utilize to teach social studies and science content with ELA standards. I.E.- scavenger hunts, escape rooms, exit tickets

I am going to use REBUS for classroom movement and make it a scavenger hunt

2020-05-28 19:53:22 UTC

Great for Early Finishers

2020-05-28 19:53:25 UTC

Prepare some that are enriching or fun facts!

Ideas

2020-05-28 19:53:33 UTC

These are perfect for SOL review!

Joyce

2020-05-28 19:54:17 UTC

Use as unit review

Resources

2020-05-28 19:54:21 UTC

Your resources are awesome. I serve and support the EC population in the high school setting, this session should hav been longer. Your pacing, patience, and presentation is awing.

Convert Existing Breakout to Totally Digital

2020-05-28 19:54:32 UTC

This would come in handy if schools do not reopen. We have several breakouts/escape room activities that could be converted easily.

Use for formative assessments

2020-05-28 20:00:46 UTC

Snote, Rebus, SMS Generator

2022-06-29 16:57:52 UTC

lisanh1 — 2022-06-29 16:57:53 UTC

I really liked the google sheets hint. Thanks so much.

Everything was new to me. I really enjoyed learning.

2022-06-29 16:58:01 UTC

Use for end of unit review.

2022-06-29 16:58:02 UTC

I really like some of the different resources for creating clues!

2022-06-29 16:58:03 UTC

I love the Google sheets idea with the pics

2022-06-29 16:58:09 UTC

Love the Google Sheets 2 Sheets Formula

2022-06-29 16:58:13 UTC

How to incorporate this in my college-level course

2022-06-29 16:58:27 UTC

I love sheets so the Las Vegas clue is very helpful with the formulas.

tammy_rossland — 2022-06-29 16:58:27 UTC

Having a solid plan for imementing this tool in my PDs for the upcoming school year.

2022-06-29 16:58:43 UTC

Love this session!

2022-06-29 16:58:48 UTC

I love breakouts, but didn't know how to begin to create my own. This information will help sooooo much!

I'm energized!

2022-06-29 16:58:49 UTC

I can't wait to try out some of these with my students.

Digital Lock

2022-06-29 16:58:51 UTC

I'm excited to utilize this in the classroom to increase engagement. This will definitely be handy with reviews and content.

This is way easier than I thought it would be.

2022-06-29 16:58:52 UTC

Jigsaw Planet website looks super fun.

tammy_rossland — 2022-06-29 16:58:54 UTC

As a HS LMS I want to work with our teachers on how to create digital break outs for difficult content that students may not enjoy. I also would like to do an opening day it with my staff.

2022-06-29 16:59:00 UTC

This is the 3rd session I've been to about digital locks and it is the only session that I actually learned how to make one.

2022-06-29 16:59:01 UTC

I have used Jigsaw Planet before, and, when multiple people are playing, it has sometimes started with the puzzle already made? sholmes@ashrosary.org

2022-06-29 16:59:04 UTC

When do I have time to do this. ha.

tammy_rossland — 2022-06-29 16:59:06 UTC

Loved Jigsaw Planet and SMS Generator

2022-06-29 16:59:09 UTC

I have never used the locks before. I'm excited about using the tools in my 8th Grade SS classroom.

2022-06-29 16:59:09 UTC

2022-06-29 16:59:13 UTC

I learned/saw how a Google Form can be imbedded into a digital breakout. (Now I need to learn how to do this.)

How I can use it in all my classes...I teach 3-5 library, 6th STEM and HS Forensics. I have ideas and I am excited to get started.

2022-06-29 17:00:00 UTC

I will definitely be pointing out to my teachers how the digital kicks deepen student thinking and increase collaboration.

2022-06-29 17:00:11 UTC

This is a lot more fun than reading a text or writing a paper.

2022-06-29 17:00:21 UTC

I am still wondering how to put the google form on the same page as the activity. Andre.Taylor1@atlanta.k12.ga.us

2022-06-29 17:00:24 UTC

Choices

2022-06-29 17:00:38 UTC

I could see that you could make the puzzles analog or low tech, too, or give kids choices for how they do the puzzle.

I find some Google products to be glitchy on the iPad, and this was not an exception. I wonder how this will affect my students’ frustration.

2022-06-29 17:01:00 UTC

A number of tools were shared that I can see others apply to classrooms in addition to the locks.
