The CiTi Curriculum Library has BreakoutEDU kits to loan out to teachers.  Contact Mrs. Cummings for more information on the kits.


BreakoutEDU has added Digital BreakoutEDU for those that do not have access to the BreakoutEDU kits.  There are many digital games already created on the websites but you can also create your own.  With a little help you can take an existing game and modify it to meet your needs.

Survey:

Once you have completed a Breakout game please take the time to complete this survey (link below).  This is to share your experiences with other teachers and to encourage the use of Breakouts in the classroom. The results of the survey will be displayed on the Library website.  

BreakoutEDU Survey


UPDATE:

The BreakoutEDU website has been updated.  They have added a paid access point but the free games are still available.  They are located under each subject area in a section called "User Generated Games"  You just need to create an account to access them, no subscription needed for these items.
Also, BreakoutEDU has created an app for a digital lock on the iPad.
