[aisle] Battle of the Books - Pandemic Style -- Need Ideas!

[Barbara Mason]

Last year, we played Battle of the Books with the other schools in the
conference.  We used the BuzzIn.live online buzzer system.  Students went
into breakout rooms and were able to play. It worked out well for us.

While we preferred playing in person, it was the next best thing we could
do.
