Digital Escape Room
Digital escape rooms challenge students to collaborate to solve a series of puzzles. Students "escape" the room by working together or independently to solve the "secret codes" often embedded in password-protected forms within a specified amount of time.
The digital escape room offers flexible and creative ways to personalize SEL instruction and utilizes gamification, which has been shown to enhance students' self-efficacy, make students more motivated to try harder, and strengthen students' ability to work with others.
