MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:06 PM EST

I'm actually getting ready to start designing our breakout game for this week! #breakoutEDU Has anyone done the HW yet?

Q1: Why use #BreakoutEDU in the middle school classroom? https://t.co/QSkbD57kda

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:06 PM EST

A1 Middle School students are motivated by the interaction and gaming feature with #breakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Watching Ss engage and problem solve at such a deeper level. Connecting their learning is powerful as well! #breakoutEDU

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Ss are able to actively learn! They are totally engaged in the learning without even realizing they're learning. #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Critical Thinking, creating culture, accepting of everyone's strengths, motivation of the gamification of learning #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:08 PM EST

@MrsHessClass So true! #breakoutEDU

emerritt74 Feb 23 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: allows students to review or front load while learning key collaborative skills. #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:09 PM EST

Thank u for highlighting everyone's strengths. You never know what a student will surprise u w/during #breakoutEDU https://t.co/anx5N2Jg3j

A1: Critical Thinking, creating culture, accepting of everyone's strengths, motivation of the gamification of learning #breakoutEDU

SFXbresnahan Feb 23 @ 9:09 PM EST

Tina, Ohio. A1 MS kids love the challenge and interaction. They are fully engaged, competitive and forget they are learning. #BreakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 There is nothing like excited middle schoolers in a #BreakoutEDU game to get Ts enthusiastic about kids' creativity!

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: The curiosity, competitiveness, and creativity is engaging for them. #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:10 PM EST

@SFXbresnahan Hi Tina! Welcome!! I love how kids forget they are learning with #BreakoutEdu

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: Love Spyder Heist and Time Warp for MS students. #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

@A_J_Golding Welcome! Glad you are here!! #breakoutEDU

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2: I've been making my own games based on classroom skills Ss are working on! The games have really made Ss think! #breakoutEDU

mrsJennaRodgers Feb 23 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2. Any game that encourages students to problem solve is my favorite game ;) #BreakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2 I've only facilitated Dr. Johnson at the MS level. They loved it. #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

@chillmanisu Are these games focused on a particular curriculum strand? #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

I seriously need to play Spyder Heist. I've heard great things about it. #breakoutEDU https://t.co/eugmAeimm4

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2: Love Spyder Heist and Time Warp for MS students. #breakoutEDU

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: Getting ready to play Simple Machines with 6th graders. #BreakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: We just created a Science Periodic table game and I love that one! It turned out well. #breakoutedu

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

@tdstech Spyder Heist is Math oriented. Time Warp is general knowledge - History of Communication #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

.@MrsHessClass are you sharing them in the sandbox or Facebook group? I love seeing what others are doing. #breakoutEDU

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:18 PM EST

@EdTechAri Gosh, I'm not sure if they're that good. I can share them on the google community that is set up for #breakoutEDU

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:18 PM EST

@travislape Have you shared your game? #Breakoutedu

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:19 PM EST

@teach529 We have not yet I am still working on a few things to get it ready for publishing. #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Mad Engineer Heist is a good one for MS too, but it can be difficult for them to actually make the motor work #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:19 PM EST

.@MrsHessClass That would be awesome. The more we share with each other, the better. It helps us all grow as game writers. #breakoutEDU

MrsBingenheimer Feb 23 @ 9:19 PM EST

Q2: Can't wait to try the Cat in the Hat #breakoutEDU at Family Ed Night in April!!! I've never facilitated one, but I think fams will <3 it

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:20 PM EST

@MrsHessClass @EdTechAri I am sure they are better than you think. We are our worse critics! #breakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:20 PM EST

@chillmanisu @teach529 I will try hard to get this cleaned up this week. Thanks so much for the encouragement. #breakoutedu

SFXbresnahan Feb 23 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2Have done a few not sure of a favorite, each one has its own really fun thing to watch and see how the Ss will attack it. #BreakoutEDU

MrsBingenheimer Feb 23 @ 9:20 PM EST

A2: Can't wait to try the Cat in the Hat #breakoutEDU at Family Ed Night in April!!! I've never facilitated one, but I think fams will <3 it

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:20 PM EST

@travislape Can't wait to play your game with a group of Ss. #BreakoutEDU

emerritt74 Feb 23 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2: I haven't tried yet but looking to try after testing. Hard to wrap head around creating one right now. #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:21 PM EST

.@SFXbresnahan I agree. It's fun to watch the same game with different groups too! #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:22 PM EST

@emerritt74 Same here Elizabeth! I just want to get my feet wet with using them with my Ss before I can create them! #breakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:22 PM EST

I think I understand the games better now because we have gone through the making part. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

@emerritt74 Everyone has their own process for writing. I know mine involves a big white board & different colored markers. #breakoutEDU

rwhobbit Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

Late to the chat. Robin, tech integration specialist, k-5, mo #BreakoutEDU

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

Sometimes I forget that I am the teacher while facilitating a #BreakoutEDU game. I am just as excited as the Ss when playing.

ahollandedtech Feb 23 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: I have never played one with the students yet. Looking to create one on the Olympics #BreakoutEDU

breakoutEDU Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

Q3: How do you get started creating a #BreakoutEDU game for middle school students? https://t.co/u2ys6LmFiY

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

@travislape Completely agree - different perspective after you create your own #breakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

Making my first game was painful. The second one was much easier. It's a mindset. #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: Start with the goal in mind based off of the standards. Bring in the fun by building the clues based off of MS interests #breakoutEDU

mrsJennaRodgers Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3. I start with the objective, what I want the kidlets to learn, and then I think about the clue answers I want & write clues. #BreakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: I always ask what do we want to accomplish. #breakoutedu What standards do we want to review or introduce?

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:25 PM EST

@rwhobbit Hi Robin! Welcome - glad you are here! #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:25 PM EST

@travislape I think true #breakoutEDU understanding comes from, experiencing, facilitating & creating.

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:25 PM EST

@teach529 Isn't that an awesome feeling - getting excited about learning! #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: Start with the why. #breakoutEDU

mrsJennaRodgers Feb 23 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3. The clues could be connected to what we've been lrng about. For example, 1 code was "bones when we were studing human body #BreakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: It is an awesome feeling when we map out a game with Ts and I see them light up with excited because of the clues/riddles. #breakoutedu

urbie Feb 23 @ 9:26 PM EST

@mandymtaylor @owl_b_torresedu #personalizedPD I’m not the most active person but learning about #breakoutedu during #cuerockstar moved me!

mrsJennaRodgers Feb 23 @ 9:27 PM EST

@urbie I think that we were in the same session. #BreakoutEDU

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:28 PM EST

@tdstech Just one more reason why I enjoy what I do everyday.#BreakoutEDU

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: I try to start with something that has personal significance for my Ss... a skill, an activity, a book we're reading, etc. #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:29 PM EST

Good starting point when creating #BreakoutEDu ... connecting with something meaningful that will impact learning https://t.co/2GucQ9JzJQ

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: I try to start with something that has personal significance for my Ss... a skill, an activity, a book we're reading, etc. #breakoutEDU

A3: I try to start with something that has personal significance for my Ss... a skill, an activity, a book we're reading, etc. #breakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 I go straight for the lesson objectives. I ask for T notes from a lesson so I can get exactly what they want for a game. #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:30 PM EST

Awesome- How cool to be the kid that knows 'the thing.' What a great idea. Diff engagements for diff Ss #breakoutEDU https://t.co/mrdEB5ncUR

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: I try to start with something that has personal significance for my Ss... a skill, an activity, a book we're reading, etc. #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:32 PM EST

@EdTechAri Great way to build positive culture when morale is low - give those outsider students the expertise #breakoutEDU

breakoutEDU Feb 23 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q4: How do you develop clues when creating #BreakoutEDU for middle school students? https://t.co/CllqbmE4iS

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:33 PM EST

A1: middle schoolers will fully immerse themselves in the game #breakoutEDU

rwhobbit Feb 23 @ 9:33 PM EST

Excited that we just ordered the first breakout boxes in our SD! We have 4 on the way. Cannot wait to start! #BreakoutEDU #moedchat

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: Collaboration.. Make a game with someone else and bounce ideas off of each other. #breakoutedu

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:34 PM EST

A2: only creating my own at this point #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:34 PM EST

@REZaruba Hi Robin! Yes, middle school students love #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: Relate it to what they are learning in classes - can be cross-curricular #BreakoutEDU

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: tie to current instruction & jump in #breakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 Think like a middle schooler. (I said think, not act, @travislape ... ha!) #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:35 PM EST

Haven't done it ... but what are your thoughts about adding a pop culture clue to the games to keep interest? #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:36 PM EST

I would take it a step further and say games SHOULD be cross-curricular! @chillmanisu #breakoutEDU https://t.co/O5XX46taFf

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4: Relate it to what they are learning in classes - can be cross-curricular #BreakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:37 PM EST

@EdTechAri @chillmanisu That is where the power lies in #breakoutedu I am working with a Ss who is making one.

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4: try to work in a variety of things - codes, play-on-words, rebus, etc #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:38 PM EST

@REZaruba MS kids also love the black light. #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:38 PM EST

@tdstech I'm down! #breakoutEDU That could be a great idea.

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:39 PM EST

Can't wait to have students who get it enough to create their own Breakout #breakoutEDU https://t.co/cU0Ctl7mvp

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:37 PM EST

@EdTechAri @chillmanisu That is where the power lies in #breakoutedu I am working with a Ss who is making one.

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:39 PM EST

@chillmanisu @REZaruba Who doesn't!! I love it too!!! #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:39 PM EST

YES!!! #breakoutEDU https://t.co/EguyQ2Y9vl

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:38 PM EST

@travislape @EdTechAri @chillmanisu How cool! I'm thinking about starting a breakout club where Ss can design the games we do in class!

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:40 PM EST

@MrsHessClass @travislape @EdTechAri Kids could create them for other classes throughout the day. ie Period 1 creates for 2 #breakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:41 PM EST

I think #breakoutEDU should start #breakouteduskype Competitions like what James did! #mindblown

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:41 PM EST

@travislape That would be awesome! #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:41 PM EST

If two teachers did an afterschool club at different locations, Ss can collaborate on a game together - connecting globally! #breakoutEDU

breakoutEDU Feb 23 @ 9:42 PM EST

Q5: What are interesting gadgets used in #BreakoutEDU games for middle school? https://t.co/KhIZTGT5ne

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:42 PM EST

#breakoutedu now we just added another level to getting into that box. Would love to see a elementary class do this.

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:42 PM EST

@travislape They were collaborative not competing, but yes to both ideas! #breakoutEDU

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:43 PM EST

@GadgetBum introduced me to one this weekend! Sandy share the tumble tube idea. #breakoutedu

rwhobbit Feb 23 @ 9:43 PM EST

@travislape, I'd love to hear more about this! #breakoutEDU https://t.co/oQIPueRwNj

travislape Feb 23 @ 9:41 PM EST

If two teachers did an afterschool club at different locations, Ss can collaborate on a game together - connecting globally! #breakoutEDU

teach529 Feb 23 @ 9:44 PM EST

Older Ss can create for younger Ss to show they understand a concept. Ex: 5th grade designs for 3rd grade #BreakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:44 PM EST

Use a "find it" tube idea with beads and rice. The beads could be a 5 word clue or a number. They have to find it in the tube. #breakoutEDU

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:44 PM EST

I used an @parrot Rolling Spider in one box. Kids were amazed when it flew out of the box! #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:44 PM EST

@travislape @GadgetBum Dying to know about tumble tube!! #breakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:45 PM EST

@MrKline_EdTech @parrot Hi Kyle!! That is funny! #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:45 PM EST

@travislape Each room was missing a clue the other had & a GHO going. They thought they were competing but they were colab #breakoutEDU

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:45 PM EST

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:48 PM EST

@REZaruba @Parrot It is a mini flying drone. https://t.co/M7qgoDwXWP #breakoutEDU

@GadgetBum I do the same. Thank goodness my husband @PrincipalKelley is so understanding. #BreakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:52 PM EST

@teach529 @GadgetBum Same here! What can I use as clues, locks, boxes - always a treasure hunt #breakoutEDU

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:52 PM EST

@EdTechAri Yeah or an @360fly 360 degree camera! #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:52 PM EST

@ThingsITeach @breakoutEDU how so? How can we help make it better? #breakoutEDU

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:52 PM EST

A6 I have a list of "must follow" rules that include preserving integrity of the game. (cheating, breaking into locks, etc.) #breakoutEDU

Q6: Share a tip for facilitating an middle school #BreakoutEDU game. https://t.co/6ZcvbgnHAL

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6: Change a lock from one class to another - this age has a hard time not telling other classes clues (especially at lunch) #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:53 PM EST

Yes! Game norms are important especially at the secondary level! #breakoutEDU https://t.co/CQT2OniB2I

GadgetBum Feb 23 @ 9:52 PM EST

A6 I have a list of "must follow" rules that include preserving integrity of the game. (cheating, breaking into locks, etc.) #breakoutEDU

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6: Have enough boxes or puzzles for all to solve. Middle schoolers need to all be involved. #BreakoutEDU

MrsHessClass Feb 23 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6: Choose a theme/themes that appeals to the kids, something that will hook them right away! #breakoutEDU Then sprinkle in skills!

REZaruba Feb 23 @ 9:54 PM EST

A6: set the tone in advance of Breakout - listening to quiet students, not being bossy, seeing value in all participating, etc #breakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:54 PM EST

@chillmanisu This is a cool idea, how do you handle the clue management to match the new lock? #breakoutEDU

chillmanisu Feb 23 @ 9:54 PM EST

For rooms with only 1 or 2 boxes we put masking tape on ground around box. Only 1 student inside at a time. Or 1 min penalty! #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Feb 23 @ 9:55 PM EST

@MrKline_EdTech Interesting ... I like the penalty! #breakoutEDU

@chillmanisu I love your "token" idea. #BreakoutEDU

@EdTechAri I usually change the letter lock - ie. turn to a different page in a book that has blacklight word on it. #breakoutEDU

MrKline_EdTech Feb 23 @ 9:56 PM EST

@tdstech The tension mounts when one gets a penalty with the clock winding down. Ha! #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri Feb 23 @ 9:56 PM EST

@ThingsITeach Maybe @GadgetBum can help discuss norms. Also its good to play w/a tool forst, get the OMGs out before gameplay. #breakoutEDU
