McDermott's Tech Tip
Digital Breakouts
Ready to try something new? Try a Digital Breakout activity with your students. I have created these to use with my students and they really enjoy them. Basically the Digital Breakouts consist of 5 stations with four questions. After the questions are answered students use a decoder to get a code. Students then enter the code into an online form to unlock the next station. This is great for a review game, or just to check understanding. HERE is an example of a Digital Breakout I created. Feel free to make a copy of my Breakout to create your own. I will be happy to help!
