Description

Using technology and problem solving skills, students decipher codes and complete activities to learn about the rules for Distance Learning. The activities are housed in a Google Slides file and students enter their codes into a locked Google Form. If you’ve been wanting to try an escape room or digital breakout with your students, this is a great place to start.

Resource Format

• This activity can be done in Google Slides or PowerPoint, so it is flexible to meet your technology needs.

Resource Includes:

• There are 6 codes to find and they require a mix of technology skills, so this makes a great breakout room activity.
• Students learn about the rules for Distance Learning by sorting, solving puzzles, following directions, etc.
• The rules are very general and should apply to any virtual learning situation. Look at the preview to see the wording of the rules. This resource is not editable.

Info for the teacher to consider:

• Students use the file in edit mode the entire time. Zoom in if text is too small. Use all of the digital tools available to them to solve the puzzles.
• Most breakout groups should be able to complete it in 20-30 minutes.
• If this is your first digital breakout then I recommend solving the puzzles as a whole group activity.
• The hints are meant to be used! Most puzzles can’t be solved without taking the hint. It is designed this way on purpose.
• With this resource you will receive a link to a Google Slides file. From there you can share your copy of the Slides file with your students, or download it as a PowerPoint file to share that way.
