When I was a middle school tech coach, I created this Halloween Digital Escape Room that most of the 7th graders in our district would do on Halloween. All the work is done so I'm passing it on in case anyone would like it πŸ˜ƒ drive.google.com/drive/folde… Takes 45-60 minutes to get through all the levels. All the links and answer key is included above. Hope your kids have as much fun as ours did #edtech #edchat #teachers #teachertwitter
