Allyed and Shifting Schools are hosting a special three part mini series to help educators sustain the conversation and continue their learning. Starting on Monday of Media Literacy Week, and the following Mondays for those three weeks, a new episode drops!
Escape The Echoes is a one-hour educational escape game that helps students develop media literacy skills through an engaging, team-based gaming experience.
The game requires teams to navigate through a series of digital media puzzles and activities that involve the utilization of one or more media literacy skills. Specifically, the game focuses on the formation of media filter bubbles and their impact on human behavior and society. The game is designed to be played in an in-person, virtual, or hybrid setting at schools or other educational institutions.
