Are you a parent or know one who might need a little support with homeschooling? Two Columbia Teachers College students just launched Zigazoo to help parents and kids find fun learning activities and share short videos with friends and family. Every day there is a new featured prompt, such as “Can you make a balloon-powered car?” or “What’s your favorite book?” Zigazoo enables kids to do fun educational projects in the absence of real school, connect with friends during a time of social isolation, and watch videos that are both fun and educational.
