Question 1 coming up! #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:05 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar welcome to the chat! I can't wait to hear your game writing tips! #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:05 PM EDT

How is it that #BreakoutEDU #PersonalizedPD AND #gbedchat all fall at the same time??? It's unfair...

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:05 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl yes!! I'm so excited! #col16 #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Hi! Jody from Quebec, Can. I've made Spyder Heist, a chem game that needs tweaks & a dig rights & responsibilities for tmrrow #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:05 PM EDT

@Mr_JSpike hey moderators of #PersonalizedPD and #gbedchat let's collaborate! #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q1: Have you tried writing your own games yet? What was your experience? #breakoutedu https://t.co/lCKyGKs8ht

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Question 1: Have you tried writing your own games? What was your experience? #breakoutedu https://t.co/yF9nkbnhfy

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Yes! I found it worked best to think about what I wanted Ss to learn & work from there to figure out the best clue to use. #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

I would love to get a #PersonalizedPD #gbedchat #BreakoutEDU crossover sometime - might get a bit crazy though, heh. @EdTechAri

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: I've written physical and digital games. Creating new of each this weekend for end of school year fun! #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Writing games is better with a teammate! Wrote one with hubby, and one with media coordinator and teacher #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Also, use a Google Doc to dump ideas in as they come. And have beta testers. Ha! #breakoutedu

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl Hoosiers who heart #BreakoutEDU, ftw! Now where is @MrKline_EdTech?

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar I love building them specifically for my Ss #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@Mr_JSpike I love crazy ideas. CC: @jbretzmann @kenny #PersonalizedPD #gbedchat #BreakoutEDU crossover

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Haven't had time to work on one, but I have an idea to work on this summer. #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: I am working on one right now. #breakoutedu Sorry I missed intros. Adrianne from WI

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Tried writing own game last Fall - none of available games worked for age grps I needed. Spyder Heist worked out really well. #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Definitely agree. Love collabing with @Mr_B_Teacher on game creation #breakoutedu https://t.co/T2sAbhM8wW

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Writing games is better with a teammate! Wrote one with hubby, and one with media coordinator and teacher #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Yes, I am currently stuck on building an analog game. I have one digital game in the sandbox! :D #breakoutedu

peerlessgreen May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Such fun at #tadl with this crowd! Thanks for being my pilot group! #BreakoutEDU https://t.co/tVairb6aMe

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@MsVenturino Me too! Have you had Ss help you build one yet? #breakoutedu

jbretzmann May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@Mr_JSpike @EdTechAri We'd run out of hashtaggery #personalizedPD #gbedchat #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Speaking of #BreakoutEDU -it would have to be doing @breakoutEDU rooms w students this year. Just ran 3 concurrent boxes today! #gbedchat

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Sorry I missed out on the intros. My first time at #breakoutedu's chat. Leslie, HS biology teacher in Mty, MX.

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@a_schindy we're glad you're here! #BreakoutEDU

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar yes! One built one this week, started playing it today. Hoping to post on sandbox later this week #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Yes! Start with student learning - awesome answer! #breakoutedu https://t.co/grHjOdMmlK

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Yes! I found it worked best to think about what I wanted Ss to learn & work from there to figure out the best clue to use. #breakoutedu

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Q1: I've written two. Lots of backward thinking, adjustments, collaboration, and student input. #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:10 PM EDT

How about #GBPersonalizedBreakoutChat ? #PersonalizedPD #gbedchat #BreakoutEDU

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:10 PM EDT

An tech integration coach for district, there is always a digital component to games that I build #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar Maybe that's why I am having trouble building it as review. Hmmm #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@MsVenturino You'll have to share tips/tricks! On my wishlist for next year! #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Mandi from MO, stumbled upon #breakoutedu chat. Excited to join discussion.

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Yes! So important to be able to adjust and tinker - hard to get it right until been played a few times #breakoutedu https://t.co/rgwwLzlWwU

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Q1: I've written two. Lots of backward thinking, adjustments, collaboration, and student input. #breakoutedu

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Yes, I found it's much harder to write games by yourself. It's nice having someone to bounce ideas off of #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lesliefarooq I think review works too! Just use concepts you want Ss to recall as yr starting point. Concept chooses the clue. #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar he loved the digital ones, made his own for #geniushour project. 7th grade #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lesliefarooq thanks for joining us! #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Collaboration seems to be key to all aspects of #breakoutedu! https://t.co/aczAKrKK5w

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Yes, I found it's much harder to write games by yourself. It's nice having someone to bounce ideas off of #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@lesliefarooq Think about skills you want to review. What story could fit all those topics. Then it starts to build itself. #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: I've written one digital for my classroom and one hands-on for my son's birthday. Both were a success. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Coolest. Birthday. Ever! #breakoutedu https://t.co/0XFAhbNZDB

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: I've written one digital for my classroom and one hands-on for my son's birthday. Both were a success. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@mrsmhebert I didn't break out of my first game either. Almost think it was a better learning experience that way! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@TTmomTT glad you found us! We're here the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 6pmPST. #Breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert I think Ts should do every breakout before having Ss do it! Then they know the struggle! Lol. #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl I agree. Learned so much from failing. Hard for competitive side of me though #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl Will share #digcit game next week. Particular design: 10$ stuff (think "no box yet"), but still for whole class #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl It was a S.T.A.R. labs theme and I used the spinning motor idea from the Mad Engineer Heist. They loved it! #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 - Gonna vote for the excited reactions from students doing @breakoutEDU Clips here: https://t.co/HMH7vZEfXW #gbedchat #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Question 2: What about getting your students involved? #breakoutedu https://t.co/V8JqTig6Om

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2: What about getting students involved? Have you had students write games for other students to play? Any tips to share? #breakoutedu

emerritt74 May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A:1 in rather intimidated in the attempt. Still stressful 2 setup 1 already made! #BreakoutEDU https://t.co/s16mKobnDq

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q1: Have you tried writing your own games yet? What was your experience? #breakoutedu https://t.co/lCKyGKs8ht

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl I remember that feeling oh so well! May be some #breakoutedu in your future for #GoogleEI

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @mrsmhebert Great advice! #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Not yet, but on my wish list! I did have my kiddos beta test my first digital game. They gave great feedback! #breakoutedu

emerritt74 May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Love collab idea haven't found the right person #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Not yet, but in the plans for next year!! #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert I ran a game at lunch. Ts couldn't break out, so they came to lunch again to finish #BreakoutEDU

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

And this might be the definition of #growthmindset! Love it! #breakoutedu https://t.co/xTa9RdBOcW

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert I ran a game at lunch. Ts couldn't break out, so they came to lunch again to finish #BreakoutEDU

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: one of my Ss created a digital game on his own. Next year I'll have them write their own games. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MsVenturino @ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert Mine too! Came running over shouting "WE BROKE OUT!" Random bystander was like whaaat? #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 - Unfortunately, no class of my own, so have not had chance to work with Ss writing games. Promised by 1 T to join next year #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Want to have my Ss start with creating a digital breakout first I think. It helped me with the thought process for hands-on #breakoutedu

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Hope to have students help create games next year. This would be such a great 'end of unit' /review project. #BreakoutEDU

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsVenturino @MsKraushaar @ccstechgirl That is the best! #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@emerritt74 The Facebook group is great for that. Post the beginning of a thought and 30 people will help you finish it. #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert love it!! Best feeling ever #BreakoutEDU

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsVenturino That's fantastic! Did they have other students play it? #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @MsVenturino @ccstechgirl My group failed first time ... begged for a chance to "redeem themselves" #breakoutedu

jdruskin May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I created 2 games for 3rd & 5th grades. Both were personalized given what they had been studying. #breakoutedu

HHSmath May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@breakoutEDU Jennifer from MA #breakoutedu I have made two from scratch, one for hs youth group and 1 for accelerated alg 2 (didn't do yet)

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@TTmomTT digital games are lots of fun to create! #BreakoutEDU

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 - My son has recently been excited about coding his own #breakoutedu escape room in @Hopscotch app. Working with him on that.

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl yes, he's shared it with friends and with me. I started it earlier today, haven't had time to finish #BreakoutEDU

HHSmath May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@breakoutEDU A1 #breakoutedu I love the process of writing my own, figuring it all out, takes a long time

lesliedavison May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2- My kids wrote & played games. They were more creative than I. They did mess up a few locks in the process. #breakoutEDU

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Great advice, Adrianne! Love the Facebook group - as long as my notifications are turned off! ;) #breakoutedu https://t.co/5dWeMKKVaH

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@emerritt74 The Facebook group is great for that. Post the beginning of a thought and 30 people will help you finish it. #breakoutedu

jgauley May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Lurking, learning, already addicted Planning on building box and writing this summer to tie into revised curriculum Thanks All! #breakoutEDU

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: itd be great to build it into a week or unit long activity where the culmination is the playing. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I'd say addictive...#breakoutedu https://t.co/QY3OLAnFl3

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@TTmomTT digital games are lots of fun to create! #BreakoutEDU

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 @BrianJMull had a class where his students played some and then wrote some this year #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @MsVenturino They are fun and addictive to create also! #breakoutedu

HHSmath May 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

#breakoutedu @breakoutedu doing my alg 2 one this Friday. I am so excited. I keep hinting at it with the kids but they have no idea

shoemap May 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A8. I have #BreakoutEDU kits on order and cannot wait to make plans for how I will share it with all of you at Spice it Up! #wleced

jdruskin May 24 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A few 5th Ss started but struggled. I'd provide template of locks, clues, for guidance. #breakoutedu

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@mrsmhebert @BrianJMull a2: yeah, I think any successful implementation has them playing first #breakoutedu

lesliedavison May 24 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2- A suggestion might be to have them bring their own locks or to have more locks so the transition between games is quicker. #breakoutEDU

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@mrsmhebert Why yes we did! #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

.@jamestsanders @BrianJMull Yes! Learned so much from playing first. Losing first game made winning at #mtv16 very sweet #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@BrianJMull @mrsmhebert Awesome! What wisdom can you share? #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

My first experience as a #breakoutedu player was just a few weeks ago at Mtl #gafesummit -student created sci. game by @loribrownfleet's Ss.

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@LindseySickler Yup. Check out the tutorials at https://t.co/MwVJo91gAI. @MsVenturino and @Mr_B_Teacher are valuable resources! #breakoutedu

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@jamestsanders @mrsmhebert Very important. Also went to an escape room. Helped them understand setting the tone of the story. #breakoutedu

emerritt74 May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT

The kids ❤️'d making a breakout. Did a great job 2! #breakoutedu https://t.co/GwSqP2ysRt

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Question 2: What about getting your students involved? #breakoutedu https://t.co/V8JqTig6Om

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@BrianJMull I want to come hang out in your class next year! #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@emerritt74 What kind of game did they write? #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q3: How about modifying games already in the database? Any successes (or failures)? #breakoutedu https://t.co/hwc6mSVza0

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Question 3: How about modifying games already in the database? Any successes (or failures)? #breakoutedu https://t.co/Qlc1Lbqnjg

emerritt74 May 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I needed more time than I had. #breakoutedu https://t.co/pTswL4dOX0

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@emerritt74 The Facebook group is great for that. Post the beginning of a thought and 30 people will help you finish it. #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@BrianJMull @ccstechgirl Good experience for kids too. Learning is messy. We adjust! #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@BrianJMull @mrsmhebert That's excellent advice for lots of things! #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: @breakoutEDU Yes! I love modifying games! Have used parts of Pi Day and Save the Words of Poetry and added puzzles #breakoutedu

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert Don't wait until you know it all to try & get students creating. Learned 2gether along the way. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Used an Outsiders game in the sandbox as inspo for my digital game. Made it my own & worked great! https://t.co/VjeLU6cekm #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 - I needed Mathematician's Code to work for a whole class/single box so added a couple of puzzles - worked really well #breakoutedu

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I think modifying games that currently exist is the a great first step to designing your own games #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I'm not sure I've used a single game as is. Sometimes my locks are different or I change content to match unit. #breakoutedu

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl @mrsmhebert Really is a perfect model of the design thinking process. A lot of prototyping, testing, reflecting #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 - Also created an "expansion kit" to allow me to do Spyder Heist with larger class/single box (up to 30 kids successfully) #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@BrianJMull @ccstechgirl That is powerful learning! #breakoutedu

jdruskin May 24 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 I used Break the Code to show colleagues in my dept how it worked and they loved it! #breakoutedu

lesliedavison May 24 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3- Modifying is the key to make the game fit your class/age/language/content. The database is amazing. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q4a: Follow up question - what about modifying games for the size of the group? Any advice you can share? #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

That's how I started. Used Time Warp as my model, and changed content and clues #BreakoutEDU https://t.co/bavGYYbVBz

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I think modifying games that currently exist is the a great first step to designing your own games #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

I modified Missing Assignment for my 2nd graders. Worked well Took out one clue. #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@meacherteacher That was the first one I did. Had to modify for a large class also and added some Alg 1 content. #success #breakoutedu

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: After my first run, I usually make a few modifications for future uses. Database games are a great jumping point. #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:28 PM EDT

This is totally how I started game writing. I've even smashed some games together sometimes. #breakoutedu https://t.co/xtZEdFzSru

jamestsanders May 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I think modifying games that currently exist is the a great first step to designing your own games #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I just used a clue from a Digital Breakout in a Breakout for my class. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Scout7 Was that the Minecraft breakout? So cool! #breakoutedu

beebekienstra May 24 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@jdruskin I'm new to #breakoutedu but would love to start - what''s the best way? can you explain Break the Code? Thanks!!

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@mrsmhebert @ccstechgirl Due to teaching this the first time, didn't have pacing down. Intro videos could have been better. #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@Scout7 I love the Breakouts that have a digital component as well. I call it a #breakoutedu mashup! :-)

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@meacherteacher Is that shared somewhere? I would love to see it #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A4 - Any size, must consider what everyone is doing at given time. If imagining 15 Ss bent over tiny scrap of paper-problematic #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Me too! Just taken bits and pieces of games I've already played and felt comfortable with. #breakoutedu https://t.co/BuuBrJlfzq

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@meacherteacher I've added a few new puzzles to the sandbox folder, there is now an extended version for a whole class! #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar Yes, that was Minecraft one. I'll get pieces shared soon. It's a pretty simple one to put together. Kids loved it. #breakoutedu

mrsmhebert May 24 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@BrianJMull @ccstechgirl always something to improve next year no matter what you teach They were the beta testers of the class #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@amyklineGB Writing notes to Ss as the "treasure" in last #breakoutedu Ss will also write advice for next year's first breakout #gbedchat

AwesomeScience May 24 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@breakoutEDU A3 many of the existing games don't fit my subject, but use ideas to build puzzles around my content. #greatideas #breakoutedu

@TTmomTT It is nice when the two worlds meet. I like to have a digital piece along with the physical Breakout pieces. #breakoutedu

AwesomeScience May 24 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@EdTechAri HS Chem and Physics - need to be very benchmark/content specific as not much room in curriculum/pacing #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q4: What is the biggest challenge you’ve found in writing a game? How did you overcome it? #breakoutedu https://t.co/O9ALElhyrk

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience @breakoutEDU Yes! So many cool ideas from other content areas! @midschoolsci is diff content, but gave me ideas #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@a_schindy @amyklineGB I love the advice idea. I already have Ss write advice, this is a great addition! #breakoutedu

BrianJMull May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

This was my favorite game the kids created. #breakoutedu https://t.co/1czGwMAIuD

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 cont'd: Plan enough stuff at any point to engage all learners. Start should incl multiple access points -not wait for others #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A2: Just recently my PAP Biologists wrote digital #breakoutedu puzzles. I'm in the process of hosting them on sites. Build one yourself 1st.

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: Nada thus far. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Making sure everything works and makes sense! Finding the right amount of difficulty for clues requires other eyes #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Gauging difficulty and time required... just gotta play it to figure it out. #breakoutedu

emerritt74 May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl there were several at once 2 review 4 the year. Nvr tested, begun only #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4. Biggest challenge is finding the time to write it, gather clues materials, and put it together. Time - need more Time. #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: The Paradox of Choice has me stalled out on my only analog attempt. I hope I get better at it! #breakoutedu https://t.co/ovztna82Yu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: I'm horrible at estimating how much time things will take. Slowly getting better #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@a_schindy It is not shared, but I am happy to post it if you are interested. I will submit it to the Sandbox. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

This is so very true! When I was ready to test my 1st game, I was WAY too close and needed fresh eyes. #breakoutedu https://t.co/MqM9lbV1Kx

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Making sure everything works and makes sense! Finding the right amount of difficulty for clues requires other eyes #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@Scout7 Ah, the mantra of a teacher... #breakoutedu

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: puzzles that seem obvious to me while designing can be the most difficult for Ss! Logic isn't always logical... Haha #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4. I also have a lot of ideas that sound awesome in my head, but don't always become awesome when trying to put into a game. #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MsVenturino This is so difficult! #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@ewolfhope me too! That's been my biggest struggle. I def make it harder than I intend #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience got it. Are you a part of the Facebook group? I'd be there would be some people ready to colab. #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MrHennigar Great! Maybe I should share my modifications too so people can adapt as they wish #breakoutedu

beebekienstra May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@beebestevens I think we should look into #breakoutedu for next year - great potential for collab problem solving. let's talk!

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: Making sure the clues you give are challenging but not too obscure. Also making sure clues match locks. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MrHennigar Perfect way to put it! Sorta like we don't see our own writing mistakes. Fresh eyes are important! #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@meacherteacher That would be fabulous. Thanks! #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Truth! #breakoutedu https://t.co/f6nO4ogIGK

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4. Biggest challenge is finding the time to write it, gather clues materials, and put it together. Time - need more Time. #breakoutedu

LindseySickler May 24 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MsVenturino It's so hard to predict with #BreakoutEDU. Games that some students breeze through might take others until the final seconds.

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@MsVenturino Yup....Same here... then I facilitate toooooo much, cause i made a hard game. #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@LindseySickler and vice versa! #BreakoutEDU

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar One day we really WILL get everything done we say we will over the summer. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience also what if you worked on one essential ? for a unit and unlocked a lock @ a time in class? #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: Trying to make it different than others we have done. Using different codes/clues so it feels like new experience each time #breakoutedu

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar for sure. I always tell my Ss they are my "beta testers" for a new game. #BreakoutEDU

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Love this idea! #breakoutedu https://t.co/2LPSyHtuOH

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience also what if you worked on one essential ? for a unit and unlocked a lock @ a time in class? #breakoutedu

AwesomeScience May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@EdTechAri yes, FB group is awesome! Very collaborative and supportive #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar @MrHennigar And find people to test who would think like Ss. Math Ts preview mine & it was good but Ss diff story. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MrHennigar Same! They love that I am asking for their help. They give great advice! #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@MsKraushaar Thanks for the advice. I will take another look at it. :) #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@EdTechAri @AwesomeScience Kind of like the slow chat version of a breakout game? Interesting! #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 - Time is huge challenge to get random planned pieces & get down into coherent whole with some flow #breakoutedu https://t.co/HceBcwQ5sw

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4. Biggest challenge is finding the time to write it, gather clues materials, and put it together. Time - need more Time. #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4. One challenge is to find theme or inspiration.Need to have reason for kids to open the box, & fun w/ some academic puzzles #breakoutedu

lesliefarooq May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@a_schindy Thanks, Adrianne! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl @AwesomeScience yup just like that! #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Q5: Describe your game-writing process? How do you keep track of all the bits and pieces? #breakoutedu https://t.co/ABMUJ1UPk4

Question 5: Describe your game-writing process. How you you keep track of all the bits and pieces? #breakoutedu https://t.co/bnt2l4jFZE

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@Scout7 For my son's birthday, I created the clue on an image then put the image in an online jigsaw puzzle. They loved it. #breakoutedu

jdruskin May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 Visualizing space & how groups of solvers will self-organize when solving. 2nd kit on way to split classes from 20 to 10 #breakoutedu

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@meacherteacher @Scout7 I bet a lot of great games will be written over the summer while people have more (some) time. #BreakoutEDU

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@LindseySickler @MsVenturino Hard to estimate b/c so diff for diff indivs & grps. Same game: some 15 min, others not in 45 min #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@MrHennigar @Scout7 Yes, I am hoping to create a few myself #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: Start on a GDoc with puzzle ideas/images/links. Add stuff to folder as needed. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: Ye olde Google Doc. I found that works best for me. I'd say it's personalized to the individual. #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT

My HS daughter created game for her Biology project. She talked about how hard it was to make puzzles.Teacher loved it! #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: I start with the boxes/tasks and create in order I think they would open. Then check locks to make sure nothing was missed #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience maybe one lock a unit per class? Or maybe start small with one lock per quarter? #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: I've found that sometimes I do better in analog - end up with LOTS of post-its on my desk! #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@MrHennigar @meacherteacher I hope so! I have a few ideas as well. #breakoutedu

pensivechatter May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Super late to the #breakoutedu chat. I'm excited to learn more about writing my own games! Had a great 1st experience last week!!

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

And not just different clues, but different feel to activity so #breakoutedu doesn't become predictable https://t.co/IR1xUqv73J

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: Trying to make it different than others we have done. Using different codes/clues so it feels like new experience each time #breakoutedu

MsLNguyen4 May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Thanks @peerlessgreen for hosting @TADL #breakoutedu and winning team @mrslamendola @mrhousepian https://t.co/F5qnrFnP4T

peerlessgreen May 24 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Yay, red-ish team! Great job!! #tadl https://t.co/9dtAsBYFRc

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5 If I don't start a Google Folder for the #BreakoutEDU game right off the bat, I'm done for, heh!

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: I like the design template on the site, but taking over a table and seeing the sequence is best for me. #BreakoutEDU

lmstump May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@kasnelson your comment reminded me - have you used #breakoutedu yet?! I've heard great things!

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

What a fantastic way to demonstrate learning! #breakoutedu https://t.co/36yxsLmcjU

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT

My HS daughter created game for her Biology project. She talked about how hard it was to make puzzles.Teacher loved it! #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrHennigar @MsKraushaar Tomorrow's Ss are beta testers (tried on grp adults who said too hard, but I don't believe them :) #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@AwesomeScience maybe digital breakouts or an after school club to have Ss create content based games? endless opportunities #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl I use graph paper and arrows. It's usually a hot mess in the first draft :-) #breakoutedu

AwesomeScience May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@EdTechAri we already did minimum 7 games for every class my first year #breakoutEDU Pretty fair effort, just a lot of work, but Ss loved it

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@meacherteacher @MrHennigar The kids sometimes see what adults don't...I have faith! #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

I want to create a #breakoutedu for our house of 75 Ss to introduce them to the middle school. It sounds ambitious for summer. #gbedchat

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5b: I always want mine to focus on specific curriculum, so choosing outcomes and then head to places like Pinterest, etc #BreakoutEDU

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Yup! Pretty scary on that first go-around. Thank goodness for iteration! #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT

I love this! I'm trying to give choices for practice and assessment. What a great one to add! #breakoutedu https://t.co/v59QiNsPHU

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT

My HS daughter created game for her Biology project. She talked about how hard it was to make puzzles.Teacher loved it! #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5 - Once enough pieces start coming together, map things out in Popplet to see game flow, access points, planned codes,... #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@MrHennigar I've got to be able to see it all spread out at once, makes it easier to make connections. #breakoutedu

pjanello May 24 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A3: minor tweaks needed with small lock box that came with kit. 4-digit instead of 3-. Adding a digit increases difficulty. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@meacherteacher I made a google drawing with color coded shapes and arrows to help people understand the design. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Love this!! Please let us know when they crush it! #breakoutedu https://t.co/p6n42hqpec

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MrHennigar @MsKraushaar Tomorrow's Ss are beta testers (tried on grp adults who said too hard, but I don't believe them :) #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@Mr_JSpike Me too. Begin with a Google Folder, then start a Google Doc in the folder to get down my ideas. #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@meacherteacher @MrHennigar @MsKraushaar I love the perseverance that #breakoutedu brings out in Ss. Opens up great conversations!

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@Scout7 @Mr_JSpike Same here.... my Google Drive is like an extension of my brain. #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A5. I try to begin w/theme, think about each lock and come up with clues for each, listing on my Google Doc in my folder. #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU May 24 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Q6: What tips would you give someone just starting out in game writing? #breakoutedu https://t.co/W8HgqqILbI

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Question 6: What tips would you give someone just starting out in game writing? #breakoutedu https://t.co/FMp1KZhXyK

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@EdTechAri Yes, I do same in Popplet. Colours help track flow -enough for # of Ss. iPad app easy to pull out to check setup too #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Scout7 @Mr_JSpike Google Folder is a must. I make all of my images in G Draw and I love QR codes where you can include images. #breakoutedu

Mr_JSpike May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6 Backwards Design! Start with what you want them to solve, then work back from there! Find some ciphers AFTER deciding goals #breakoutedu

MsVenturino May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: don't be afraid to steal clues from other games! #breakoutedu

pjanello May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A2: going to challenge G7/8 class tomorrow after facilitating Dr. Johnson with them to write a game - en français! #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: Find a buddy (AKA someone as crazy as you!). Bouncing ideas off of someone is invaluable! Look to other games for inspo. #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6: Just do it! Find someone to collaborate with, and just jump in! #breakoutedu Once you get started the clues/puzzles will start flowing

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@MrHennigar It is not easy! #breakoutedu

AMitchell828 May 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 Don't be afraid to jump in. Keep your Ss in mind when building the game. I just finished my first one it was a blast today. #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: Make sure you participate in one first :-) Look at ones that are already completed to get a feel for the process. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@ewolfhope #breakoutedu https://t.co/D5qzqSwgvu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: #breakoutedu Look through others and see how they are set up and organized. Go to Pinterest and Facebook and just gather ideas.

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 That's awesome, Angie! What kind of game was it? Did they break out?? #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@EdTechAri Best way to get started! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6- Don't forget to collaborate! #breakoutedu

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: the story is important, it gives Ss purpose and ties it all together. Even better when the story is carried throughout. #BreakoutEDU

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Just start. Don't compare to tohers - do it the way that makes sense to you. There is not one way to write or play the game #breakoutedu

ewolfhope May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MrHennigar I struggle with the story part... working on it. #breakoutedu

MsKraushaar May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MrHennigar Good point! I want to do better at making sure my story is carried out better in my next one. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

This is GREAT advice! #breakoutedu https://t.co/YjPvu6x4jg

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Just start. Don't compare to tohers - do it the way that makes sense to you. There is not one way to write or play the game #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MsVenturino I stole the spinning motor from The Mad Engineer. It was such a success I plan to use it in the next one too. #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 make a simple game to start. Use part of your curriculum, math is easy for me to write around. #breakoutedu

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Can't lose sight curricular & ped. goals. Easy get wrapped up & forget but hard justify repeat without #breakoutedu https://t.co/JYeXzDAUvT

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5b: I always want mine to focus on specific curriculum, so choosing outcomes and then head to places like Pinterest, etc #BreakoutEDU

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

This is great advice. We want them all to be different. #breakoutedu https://t.co/UbFKIpEIxn

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Just start. Don't compare to tohers - do it the way that makes sense to you. There is not one way to write or play the game #breakoutedu

a_schindy May 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Ss liked one I created better than others cuz they felt they could all contribute. t was made for them. #breakoutedu https://t.co/6IyKjPQ0Pl

AMitchell828 May 24 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 Don't be afraid to jump in. Keep your Ss in mind when building the game. I just finished my first one it was a blast today. #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6 Choose game you liked use that as your model if you are having trouble getting started, change the clues to fit your class. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 Love to hear about #breakoutedu in the media center!

filipetti May 24 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 late joining so forgive me. Has anyone used the Locks app? Or have tips for it? https://t.co/oFEXGFlyvX #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl Advice - order magnets from Amazon. I waited until the last minute and struggled to find them locally! #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 you might start with just one or two locks. Make it short game to see how Ss do. #breakoutedu

AMitchell828 May 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@ccstechgirl I've already asked my principal if I can do a PD on it next year for the staff. #Breakoutedu

EdTechAri May 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Scout7 it's a great way to intro rules and norms w/a short game #breakoutedu

MrHennigar May 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Scout7 my first game was an adapted Candy Caper. Great clues in that one! #BreakoutEDU

meacherteacher May 24 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6 - Have ped/curric goal, decide on backstory (helps integrate clues), consider clues that lead to various codes, map it out #breakoutedu

TTmomTT May 24 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 @ccstechgirl Me too. I want the library to have a few kits Ts can check out b/c I think they will love it! #breakoutedu

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A6 In Escape to Recess, put each lock on own box, simple clue nxt to box using thgs in room. Beanie Babies, unifix cubes, #breakoutedu

AMitchell828 May 24 @ 9:59 PM EDT

This is wonderful advice if time is an issue. I only had 35 minutes today so I only used 3 locks. #breakoutedu https://t.co/whdMPsDXlc

Scout7 May 24 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 you might start with just one or two locks. Make it short game to see how Ss do. #breakoutedu

ccstechgirl May 24 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@AMitchell828 Sweet!! I've run a couple of games at staff meetings and now #breakoutedu is taking off like crazy in my district!
