Gamify Your Inquiry-Based Learning:History is a mystery. We've all heard it. You are a Social Studies/History teacher who aspires to wake up your classroom. To achieve this, you must infiltrate the student classroom and solve the 4 missions that appear on the map. Make sure you have your operative resources handy to write down the clues you get. If you collect all the clues, you will get the combination that opens the interactive classroom with your reward, good luck!
