Overall, the content is good and it was a challenge for my students. The link, however, didn’t work sometimes and it was difficult for remote students to show proof of completion, so I had them take a screenshot and email it to me. I wonder if there’s something I missed as far as obtaining a list of who completed it?
amy P. –
Very engaging. Students had a lot of fun. Was a fun way to review what we learned about the industrial revolution.
Erica G. –
Very useful resource

This escaped room for the Industrial Revolution is well done and covers many important aspects of the Industrial Revolution. Students will find this escape room informative and fun. Important note – be sure to check if your school districts security settings on student computers will allow access to all parts of the escape room. Some of my students couldn’t access on their school computer, but had their own personal computer which allowed access.

Escape rooms are always a hit with my 5th grade students! This digital escape room was a fabulous addition to our US History unit on the Industrial Revolution. The “How To” pages at the end are helpful for students who are just learning how to decode cryptograms and Pig Pen ciphers.
