[aisle] Battle of the Books options

[Erin Wyatt]

Hi Tricia,
We did.
We used Google Meet and an online buzzer system, https://buzzin.live/.
The buzzer system is easy to use. Gives a code when the moderator starts a
game. Players log in with that code.

Students used split screens to have both things open. One student had a
tech issue with this and did the meet on his chromebook and the buzzer on
his phone.
We play by teams, so I kept score as a team and individually on my paper
giving score updates after each round.
The buzzer system lets multiple people buzz in but lists student names in
order of who buzzed in first. The moderator sees this part.

My elementary school colleagues use Kahoot as their BoB platform and were
able to move that online as well.

Have fun!
Erin
