ESC 18 - Taco Tech Tuesday

try this great breakout room Google site for a Halloween treat. Provided courtesy of TCEA. The page contains images, text, and hidden hyperlinks that students can use to solve digital puzzles. A Google Form is used to create the digital locks. In order for a Google Form question to act as a lock, the question needs to have the response validation selected which is already built-in. The most common locks are Direction, Color, Number, Word, Letter, and Date. If you can't figure out the breakout room answers you can always email preimers@tcea.org for the answers, or reach out to me at cenriquez@esc18.net.But give it a try first!
