#iste18 Bright and early in the morning! Talking blended learning with a cup of coffee

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

@LTC_Teach Yes! There are many free breakouts for you to use! You can even make your own. There are physical and digital breakouts. I would def check it out! https://t.co/SQ1FaGCGik #mti563

A3: Breakout Edu- prompts critical thinking since it is not entirely intuitive. Allows for students to choose how they arrive at the answer/solution which provides opportunity for growth, collaboration, creativity, and differentiation. #mti563

@MattAnd92135957 This is awesome! Is there a way for the teacher to get feedback on student progress? #mti563

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

@LTC_Teach I have found that teachers use games either once a week to every other week. Games like Breakout Edu are usually used once a year to once a semester. #mti563

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

@LTC_Teach @AskATechTeacher Great point! That could also be a way to track student progress. #mti563

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

A2: Initially parents are apprehensive. It is important to have the learning targets clearly articulated along with the methods by which students will be achieving them in gaming approach. Then they see how effective it can be. #mti563

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

@LTC_Teach @AskATechTeacher Agreed! Just by saying to students they will be playing a game- their entire mindset changes! #mti563

[Kim Mazur @KMazurSTCE]

A1: Games/simulations allow for students to think outside of the box. It allows for natural methods of differentiation so that students can arrive at their answers in a way that works best for them (they are in driver's seat). It is also far more engaging! #mti563

@AskATechTeacher Not at all! #mti563
