Session Description: Embark on an exciting journey into the realm of digital escapes! In this workshop, you’ll discover the power of using a variety of free Microsoft tools to incorporate digital escape rooms into your teaching. Using Microsoft Sway as our foundation, we’ll design a narrative that guides students through a series of puzzles and tasks that promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped to design your own digital escape experiences that you can easily integrate into your curriculum.
As a result of this session, educators will:
Explain the educational benefits of digital escape rooms.
Design a basic digital escape room using Microsoft Sway.
Share and collaborate with colleagues on digital escape room ideas.
