1. Back to School Escape Room (editable in Google Slides or .ppt)
This tutorial and example game will help you build a virtual Back to School Escape Room for your students. You can use the room from the example game or insert the clues and tasks into an existing virtual classroom. The default tasks include watching an introduction video, looking through up to three EdTech platforms of your choice, taking a quiz over your syllabus, and solving a Secret Code. You'll hide clues throughout your game to make sure players complete these tasks. This tutorial utilizes Google Slides and Google Forms. This resource works for any subject area.
**This is not a "ready to go" resource - it should be customized for your classroom. For instance, in the Example Game, the introduction video is me saying hello! ;) **
