Video Tech Startup Bows Remote-Learning App It Says Teachers Helped Design

Short-form video tech firm Zigazoo introduced a remote-learning app through the App Store and Google Play called Classrooms that teachers helped design, said the startup Wednesday. The app enables teachers to assign classes one of Zigazoo's hundreds of projects, or build their own, “then host classroom interaction with and between students by sharing short-form videos in their closed communities,” it said. "Parents are telling me their kids are miserable on long Zoom calls and teachers are telling me that there is no humane way to do their old classroom model on a conference call,” said CEO Zak Ringelstein. Zigazoo is positioning Classrooms as “tailor-made for the remote learning world, giving teachers and students from all backgrounds the projects and environment they need to thrive," he said.
