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

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We actually don't use physical locks as much anymore. We use a Google form as the locks. (See https://www.breakoutedu.com/digital/ for examples.)  This is similar to having all locks on the hasp. However, if you want to have students open one box at a time, it may not work as well.

I'll be presenting "Breaking Out of the Old and Into the New" on Saturday at 1:30pm at the ISLMA Conference. I'll share our tech coach's and my experiences with Breakout, what to do about lock issues, how to create your own, etc. I hope to see you there!

Dear friends,
I am seeking advice (and commiseration?) about how to avoid replacing Breakout EDU box locks that get reset during a lesson. I can't decide if the teachers are not setting the locks correctly, or if students are sabotaging the boxes and resetting the locks themselves.

After a recent class use of our 4 boxes, I have to toss 5 locks!

Are you having the same issues? What are your solutions?
