Welcome to Tim Burr’s Breaking Out of the PD Mold. . .

Inspired by the zombie-like nature of his traditional professional development experiences, Tim developed a serum rid the world of boring PD and welcome a new era of innovation and exploration in education across Tennessee and yes, around the world!  However, like most hero’s, Tim has a nemesis - the makers of worksheets and Powerpoint templates have gotten wind of Tim’s endeavors, have kidnapped him, and are plotting to put a stop to this new wave of PD training. They plan to unleash a zombie serum that will forever ensure that PD sessions remain boring and uninspiring - focusing on their beloved worksheets and Powerpoint presentations! Thankfully, we got wind of their dastardly plot. We know that the serum antidote is right here in this classroom, in that large black box. It is however, tightly protected by a series of puzzles created by Tim’s adversaries to thwart your finding a way to unlock the box. The clues to open these locks are hidden around this campus. You will have to work together with different types of technology to solve the puzzles. You can get up to two hints emailed to you to help you on your quest. You can do it!

You will receive an email with instruction on how to begin helping us save Tim. The instructions will help lead you to solve the puzzles.  You have 45 minutes to find the antidote and save teacher PD forever! If you fail, well failure is not an option!

You begin, NOW.
