COOL TOOLS FOR SCHOOLS
I was first introduced to the topic of Breakout EDU at a Google summit conference last summer. The presenters allowed us to personally experience going through a Breakout EDU as a student. This was a fantastic experience and I was super excited to bring this concept to my classroom. As we all know, these activities take an extensive amount of time and planning. As a result of that, this lesson allowed me to explore the topic a bit more and I have created and used two Breakout activities with my 8th grade students. They absolutely love these activities. I used one of them for my formal observation. In my pre observation meeting my administrator posed the question of how do you ensure all students are engaged in this activity. I told her the concept of the activity itself takes care of that for us. I loved the visual on this topic entitled 16 reasons to use Breakout EDU lessons. All of these are an accurate representation of what this activity brings to your classroom and your students. Mary and I have both created accounts & purchased the Breakout EDU kit and subscriptions for next year. I look forward to creating more of these activities in conjunction with Mary and her knowledge of sources to use in these activities. I have attached a couple of clues we used for a Breakout on the Great Depression.
