You Might Be a Geeky Teacher If You've Created a Digital Breakout

It's Time to Break Out!

Have you tried the breakout boxes available on Breakout Edu?  They are engaging, push critical thinking and collaboration.  We've used the breakout boxes and even built our own to save some money!  They've been used for faculty professional development, lesson hooks and complete units!  Recently, we learned about digital breakouts and decided to try one for an upcoming introduction of Ancient Egyptian and Hieroglyphic studies.  We've been pairing picture books with primary sources for secondary lessons and what better way to introduce a picture book than a digital breakout?  Check out our first attempt at a digital breakout!  We used a primary source picture, edpuzzle and a video, a game and our school's Discovery Education video library.
