Students loved working on the escape room during online learning. I used break out rooms and students worked in small groups to solve each question. Students didn't finish within allocated time and wanted to come back later in the day to finish it off. Was a big hit!

It’s so lovely to hear how successful this was for your class! Thanks for your lovely feedback :)
