This week has been a busy one, but I was able to devote a small amount of time to my virtual breakout box project!

This project has been fun to experiment with. Having the opportunity to explore an idea while completing a task for a class has been fantastic. This is a project that I have thought about attempting, but haven’t really had the chance to devote some time to.

Right now I am working on inputting content and material that is related to what has been covered in my target classroom. Once I have the information that I need, I will be organizing it into various games and activities within my virtual breakout box!

Check out the short tour of my virtual breakout box so far. I am using DeckToys as my game platform, and I used Screencast-O-Matic and YouTube to record and share the video.

I have many branches and game options so far. Once I input the material that I want the students to work with I may narrow it down and remove some of the branches and activities. I am also hoping to rearrange and change the background image so that it gives the student the impression that they are travelling from place to place as they progress through the challenges.

Thanks for checking this out, stay tuned for future updates on my virtual breakout box!
