[ISLMA-Share] 'escape room' library lesson

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I helped write a Breakout EDU game (woefully easy, we found out later!) for
our freshman Transition classes that acted as a scavenger hunt to get to
know our school website. Took most groups less than 15 minutes to open 5
locks.

Next week, I am using game 1 off the Global Read Aloud feature on Breakout
EDU next week for the final day in Teen Read Week. I will offer the game to
students in the Library Media Center on their study halls and free periods.

To prepare boxes (we have 4), I followed open source suggestions from
Breakout EDU and ordered all parts from Amazon. Label every lock. Keep
instructions to reset locks. I created a sheet to track the previously-set
combinations.

Hope it goes well!
