ESCAPE the classROOMS

Escape rooms are an exciting way to get students engaged with content. They're great for encouraging research, reviewing for assessments, or to introduce new content. Even the most reluctant learners will try to win an escape room. But the issue is that most escape rooms you can find for free or purchase have parts of the tasks that are not content based. I'm going to focus on how the entire escape room can be content-based, thereby increasing the amount of time students are engaged with the content.

​

During this session, you'll participate in an escape room and see how I created topic focused escape rooms to immerse the students in the content. And you'll leave the session with some tools and tips to help you create engaging escape rooms for your students.
