Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

With the technology we have available to us, active engagement is easier than ever! Students crave interactions with their learning that will allow them to think differently. In this session, individuals will be working on creating their own Digital BreakoutEDU from scratch using the following tools: Google Sites, Google Drawings, Google Forms, Google Docs, and Google Slides. Breakout games require students to think creatively, critically, and they must collaborate with their group. This can be done on any device.

Outline

I will have a presentation to give the attendees that will include GIFs to help walk them through making their Digital Breakout. This will mostly be a resource for them to use after the session is over.

We will begin by briefly describing what a Digital Breakout is and why we would want to use these in our classes. (approximately 5 minutes)

Next, attendees will have an opportunity to explore a simple/short digital breakout. This process will allow them to experience the excitement, engagement and challenge that comes along with this opportunity. (approximately 10 minutes)

We will then walk through the process of creating their own digital breakouts and attendees will create a breakout for their own content. (approximately 40 minutes)

Wrap up and questions at the end (approximately 5 minutes)
