LET’S TALK TECH…
This product will work with Breakout EDU Kits. However, they are not required. Some familiarity with Google Forms and Google Slides is required.
If you assign the Google activities and your students receive an “Access Denied” error message, it is because your district has blocked students from opening Google files owned by someone outside your district.
You can solve this by making a “teacher copy” of the activities and then embedding your document links within the Google form.
