The dictionary meaning of the word Vulnerable is able to be easily physically, emotionally, or mentally hurt. Can vulnerability lead to growth? This week, I got an opportunity to look at closely at where I fall short.
In my mind, I had designed a fun and engaging digital breakout tied to a novel that we are studying. I had not done digital breakout with this grade, and needless to say, I was super excited to see their reaction… a positive one, that is.
Kids, we are going into a virtual escape room, “I announced.”
They began to explore and few minutes into it, they started to find glitches (I had told them there are a few) and on top, the challenge was too hard for these eighth graders. I heard things like, this is a most absurd thing, this clue to the crossword doesn’t make sense, why would you create this and why can’t we just read the book!
