Breakout EDU Resources

I participated in a Breakout EDU experience last Monday at the 2nd Annual ICIC Conference. Click here to view a Hyperdoc about Breakout EDU and here for a slide deck of resources by Maria Galanis and Billy Spicer. Please let me know if you'd like to collaborate together to create or facilitate a Breakout EDU with your students. It is a wonderful way to promote teamwork and a growth mindset!
