Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 20

Students had opportunities to use the digital platform Breakout EDU, this allowed them to solve puzzles related to our content. Learners work collaboratively with peers and use their critical thinking, communication, and higher-level thinking skills. These breakout challenges were a fun way to enhance our learning and kept students thinking about what they still wanted to learn! Students keep asking when our next breakout box is and what it will be about!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To challenge our students to use critical thinking skills and effectively communicate with each other in a fun and interactive way. 

 

What will be done with my students

Breakout EDU online boxes allow teachers to use preexisting lessons, or create new mysteries to solve, in all subject areas. Students, in small groups, will be challenged with trying to solve a variety of clues that will unlock a series of locks. After they have completed the tasks, the mystery they have worked so hard to solve will be revealed. This activity usually ranges from about 15-30 minutes and can be the introduction to a lesson to add excitement to a learning goal or can be the culmination of a lesson to test their knowledge of what was learned. 

 

Benefits to my students

The benefit of this digital platform will allow students to feel a sense of community as the mystery is revealed, an awareness of the importance of group communication, the value of each team member's role in a group, the critical thinking skills needed to solve clues and eliminate incorrect theories, and a love and excitement for learning.
