Breakout Rooms Extension Tutorial

Contributed by Stephen Madrid

This is link to my Google slide deck for using a "Breakout Rooms" extension for Chrome; a good way to have small groups integrated with your Google Classroom. So far, there are really only two viable extensions for breakout rooms. This tutorial is for Robert Hudek's extension (v 0.0.16.4) which is, by far, the best one. Google is said to release their official app but has been delayed. Meanwhile feel free to PM me.
