Zoom announces change to allow students to choose their own breakout room

Coming in September, students will have the ability to select a breakout room and move between rooms. This allows even greater flexibility in the way you structure your small group learning. You can create themed breakout rooms or reading groups and invite students to move between them based on their interests in topics. The possibilities are endless, so get creative!

From Larry Ferlazzo:

A relatively popular workaround to that used by many has students “rename” themselves on Zoom by working things out with their classmates and people add a number next to their name.  Then the teacher puts students together who have chosen the same number.

However, it would be a lot easier, of course, if Zoom offered a way for teachers to let students be able to easily choose on the spot.
