    I1 I got curious about the big, yellow @breakoutEDU bus parked outside the building at #ISTE2016. It was the talk of the conference (I never could get on that bus) and I just HAD to know more! I ordered a kit as soon as I got home. 🔐 #MTedchat
  • KaitlinRose93 Feb 12 @ 10:06 PM EST
    Katie here! I'm a first year high school librarian hoping to utilize @breakoutEDU in Arizona! Thought this would be the perfect place to learn more. #mtedchat
  • jzimnycricket Feb 12 @ 10:06 PM EST
    I1: It was at the Fall CUE conference where I first learned about it and it's been true love ever since. I got 5 kits for my library and use them all over our school! #mtedchat

  • youtheduteach Feb 12 @ 10:07 PM EST

    A1: I was introduced to @breakoutEDU at @edcampBigSky Someone brought a box and we tried it out. I decided I needed some, so I found funds to purchase a box. #mtedchat #hsd1chat

    I1: I 1st learned about @breakoutEDU about 2 years ago after doing many escape rooms. I fell in love with doing them for fun & was looking for a way to do them in my classroom. I got my first kit through @DonorsChoose! #MTEdChat

  • BSGSCSFoster Feb 12 @ 10:14 PM EST
    #MTedchat The first ever @breakoutEDU I did was at #DENSI15 and my second was at #DENSI16. I still remember "Stoneage Tutorial Services" and the overhead projector with Porter Palmer looking disenchanted and flipping the slides as @shareski read them WORD for WORD. #epic
  • shannongpetty Feb 12 @ 10:15 PM EST

    I2: The first @breakoutEDU game I did was Dr.Johnson's zombie apocalypse, and I remember thinking the last map lock was SO CLEVER. I wanted to design games with that element of wow and surprise. #mtedchat

    A2 I did breakout with my students before I played a game myself. My first time was with 1st graders and I was blown away by how well they did. #mtedchat
  • Jamiejoleen Feb 12 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A2. Since I don’t know Breakout EDU, I’m not sure but I am enjoying reading everyone’s answers. I’ll have to look these games up! #hsd1chat #MTEdChat

    I remember being frustrated with it but it also reminded me that this is how our Ss feel when we try tot each them something new. You have to allow for mistakes and learning opportunities #hsd1chat #MTedchat
  • AnnBruckerEDU Feb 12 @ 10:18 PM EST
    Yes, yes, and YES!!! So fascinating to watch people... and to learn about "yourself" as a facilitator! #MTedchat @breakoutEDU
    In reply to @TraciPiltz, @breakoutEDU
  • ImagineerSTEAM Feb 12 @ 10:18 PM EST
    I2: I dove right in by buying a kit & just trying it with Ss. The 1st @breakoutEDU game Ss played was Turkey Trouble. They were fascinated as they worked collaboratively. Their minds were blown when they got a lock open! It encouraged me to write a grant to get 30 kits #MTEdChat
  • AmandaRapstad Feb 12 @ 10:18 PM EST
    The most interesting thing about @breakoutEDU is watching the way the kids interact and some of the things you notice about their personality that you wouldn’t otherwise. #mtedchat
    In reply to @TraciPiltz, @breakoutEDU

    I love how @breakoutEDU allows the door open so that kids get to surprise us... in THE BEST way! #MTedchat

    Q3 Thinking back to that first @breakoutEDU game, what made it good or what was your favorite part about it? If it wasn't a smashing success, what could have made it better? #MTEdChat
  • BSGSCSFoster Feb 12 @ 10:19 PM EST
    #MTedchat I love the digital games, but my heart belongs to the box. As I say in my staff trainings, "We use @breakoutEDU boxes because the Fire Marshal frowns on us locking children in a room for an hour and encouraging them to escape. He's okay with breaking in though!"

    I3 Whatever made my first @breakoutEDU experience good or bad could probably be applied to ANY lesson; I realized I have a "thought robbery" problem! It was SO HARD not too give hints that weren't requested! How many times did I do that in my classroom?! 🤔#MTedchat @TraciPiltz
  • booleymac20 Feb 12 @ 10:20 PM EST
    A2 the first one I did was at the first Apple ConnectEd Leadership& Learning Institute in Dallas in 2016 - super challenging fun with @r_genereux @kelseyemiller and we bought two kits for our school to bring the fun back to MT! #MTedchat
  • St006C Feb 12 @ 10:20 PM EST

    This is an excellent observation. I don't think we get to put ourselves in the "learner" seat often enough and @breakoutEDU really stretches US, too! #MTedchat

    I3: With my first one I ran with students I learned how to set up expectations for their experience better. For example, telling them that they will get frustrated during this game was key for me. And then encouraging them not to give up. #mtedchat

  • TraciPiltz Feb 12 @ 10:22 PM EST
    Yes! Agreed! As a kindergarten T, I know I am guilty of spoon feeding the kiddos too much. I love that @breakoutEDU gives them a chance to problem solve & think critically & creatively on their own (even when it’s hard)! #MTedchat

    #mtedchat A3: OMG - There was a pictogram of different types of tea and seating. We were supposed to say TEA + CHAIR = Teacher but I think EVERYONE struggled with that. And there were VHS videos that had yellow labels that spelled a word but someone touched the "clues"...

  • youtheduteach Feb 12 @ 10:24 PM EST
    A3: it was a learning curve for my Ss and myself. I would t say it was a complete failure because I learned a lot. My Ss were super frustrated. It was better the second time. #hsd1chat #MTedchat
  • AnnBruckerEDU Feb 12 @ 10:24 PM EST
    Isn't it funny to think that you have to say those words?! Maybe it's because in traditional lessons, we don't offer ENOUGH experiences where we need to forewarn our Ss that they will struggle! #MTedchat @breakoutEDU

  • MrsKimStout Feb 12 @ 10:24 PM EST

    I3: I’ve learned so much about setting up @breakoutEDU games for my Ss since my first game. Like how to organize clues for various grade levels to scaffold the learning, how to help Ss collaborate effectively, & trying to cut down on setup time - that’s the hardest. #MTEdChat
  • MrsKimStout Feb 12 @ 10:26 PM EST
    A3: I had VERY little direction prior to participating my first time and none of us really knew what we were doing, so my first experience wasn't great. We needed a little more direction. #MTedchat #hsd1chat
  • AnnBruckerEDU Feb 12 @ 10:27 PM EST
    I4 It's not always the kids we expect who are the most successful in @breakoutedu. I adore how the Ss who "do school well" get to struggle, and how the quiet ones get to shine. EVERYONE has the opportunity experience that sense of cognitive dissonance (aka LEARNING)! #MTedchat

    A2: Don't remember what the first #breakoutEDU I participated in was, but the first one I facilitated for staff was faculty party. #Mtedchat

    I love how @breakoutEDU makes me open my eyes and look around to see things that are hiding in plain sight! I mean this literally AND figuratively because it applies to so many life situations! #MTedchat

      Q4 We hear it all the time: in @breakoutedu experiences, players always seem to surprise games facilitators. In what ways have you been surprised by your students or peers? #MTEdChat
  • AnnBruckerEDU Feb 12 @ 10:28 PM EST
    Were they frustrated because you couldn't/wouldn't help? Or because they didn't know the "answers" right away? Or something else? #MTedchat

  • BSGSCSFoster Feb 12 @ 10:29 PM EST
    #mtedchat A4: My favorite - when Ts tell me that Ss are "lazy" and doesn't work and won't participate, but we can try this "Breakout thing." I predict those Ss will be THE most engaged kid... almost 100% of the time. Also love to hear the pleasure/joy of Ts recog engagement.
  • TraciPiltz Feb 12 @ 10:29 PM EST
    I4: I’ve been surprised by how competitive my colleagues can be. 😂 We recently used the SAMR @breakoutEDU w some different #BPSTILT groups & it was surprising to see how the different group dynamics affect the game. #mtedchat

    #MTedchat I warn participants that my "clues" are just like their teaching (I frequently train the Ts on how to use the box) and that it will often be a riddle. I will help to LEAD them to the answer but will not GIVE the answer. They usually curse me. LOL

  • TraciPiltz Feb 12 @ 10:34 PM EST
    Great question! I’d love to hear the answers. For me it’s definitely been trial and error and managing set up is tricky. @AnnBruckerEDU developed a lock tracker system that I use w k-2 Ss. They record answers as they solve puzzles & we open box all together at the end. #mtedchat
