A colleague shared a video of a teacher putting stickers on her face every time a new student participated. I tried out the idea, and my classes were determined to get as many stickers on my face in an hour! Needless to say, I looked crazy by the end of it! 🤪 #whateverittakes

Alright, @zoom_us here is what I need as a teacher. I need to be able to observe all the breakout rooms at once and then click on one to listen in. I am imagining a screen that almost looks like a seating chart. Can you do this for me?
(Can I get some retweets or zoom mentions?)
