Welcome to the Dinosaur Island! We need your help! In this escape room, you will need to test your knowledge of the Jurassic Period. Our top research team of paleontologists are trapped near a raptor enclosure, and will need your help before their GPS signal is lost completely! Can you create the perfect diversion to save them before all of the hybrid dinosaurs on the island are set loose? Can you uncover the mystery before time runs out? This class will be immersive and require learners to work together to solve a special mystery by problem-solving and unlocking ciphers. There will be various activities from mapping coordinates, cryptograms, riddles, jigsaw puzzles, and QR-based dinosaur trivia questions. Each activity will unlock special areas around Dino Island that will reveal answers to the mystery location of the research team as well as their laboratory. In the end, learners will create a special formula and save the missing research team by successfully unlocking areas that are themed around various dinosaur species, on land and sea. Once teams have received all of their clues, they will explore a 360 escape room raptor pen and input their final message and findings before time expires. No previous knowledge of dinosaurs or the Jurassic Period is required for this escape room. However, this class is ideal to supplement learners who are interested in or are studying those subjects. There are no outside printouts required as the experience is fully virtual. This class is also available for private groups and birthday parties upon request.

COPPA Policy for Thinglink:
There are video clips embedded in the Google Forms Quiz. Safety and privacy are our top priorities. Learners under 13 will need to have Parental Consent when accessing those links on Google for those with student accounts to comply with COPPA.
Students will be provided with a direct code to access the game link, and will bypass any registration or sign-ins for Thinklink as I have a Professional Teacher License through the service to use the platform as a teaching tool. Therefore, learners will not need to provide any information or sign up for the platform themselves. In fact, students will be provided with a link that restricts them from having to share any personal information or sign in, as the game will appear on their screen without an interface. However, parental consent will be required to comply with COPPA. As per the terms of usage, all students accessing the Service are subject to consent provided via their educator or educational institution, as allowed under COPPA, and will require the use of a unique invitation code supplied by their instructor or education institution in order to create an account or access the platform.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Greetings Outschool Family!
My name is Dwitney Bethel! I would describe myself as a vivacious and effervescent free spirit! I am originally from Nassau, Bahamas, but I consider myself a North American, as I spent nearly a decade in both the United States and Canada respectively. Although, of all of the places I have either lived or traveled through, my favorite is by far Japan! There is something timeless and magical about a place that embodies both the past and future at the same time.
I offer both private and public sessions! So if you are looking for afterschool programs, birthday games, or private sessions, feel free to message me with your inquiry.
In terms of my personal experiences, I have a background in History, Creative Writing, and Globalization Studies. I have a Bachelor of Honours in History and Development Studies, an M.A. in Public History, as well as an M.A. in Globalization Studies. I worked as a teaching assistant throughout my graduate studies, and mentored ESL students as well! I had always imagined myself teaching English abroad until I made the decision to become an entrepreneur and work for myself! I recently graduated from a Business and Entrepreneurship program, as I wanted to become a business owner and start my own company. My company offers team building games as well as heritage, tourism and cultural experiences, and that is what I hope to bring here! Therefore, I will offer an array of courses in the upcoming weeks from a very interdisciplinary perspective! I will bring gameshow style classes to traditional subjects such as history, global politics, geography, and anthropology.
I also hope to have some creative writing and book club combination courses dealing with subjects such as Immigration, Minority Studies and Feminine Identity using historical fiction for middle school and young adults. I will also feature some interactive escape room and thriller mystery games sets as well!
I was never a student who could fit into one discipline, as I just had a love and interest in almost everything! Interdisciplinary studies changed my life, and that is the approach I hope to bring here! I hope I can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning. Reviews
