[ISLMA-Share] Breakout EDU locks getting reset - I'm getting disillusioned!

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I run five boxes at a time and have found this to be helpful:

First, I have the boxes set up in the front of the classroom, and students
have to come to me with an answer they want to try.  They must prove how
they got the answer before trying.

Second, as soon as the lock is open, they had it to me, and I put it in the
lock parking lot picture that I found on line.  These are in trays sitting
by the boxes.

Third, breakouts are only done in the library, so a teacher and I are both
watching.

Since I started this, I have stopped the resetting of locks.
