Timelines can be organized by time of day, date, or event, and the tool allows users to create a label with short or long descriptive text.

GoConqr - Changing the way you learn Huzzaz Makes it Easy to Create and Share Online Video Collections | SocialTimes Startup: Huzzaz.comFounder: James YangLaunched: August 2013Based: Dallas, TX The internet is a useful tool but sometimes it can feel like a giant black hole, sucking you in as you search for information. Google is great for searching for brands but the information isn’t well organized. According to James Yang, an electrical engineer turned self-taught web developer, YouTube is much the same as Google. This is precisely the problem Yang set out to solve when he created Huzzaz, a video curation platform that enables users to create video collections and embed them on other websites. Yang says this can be particularly useful for the education industry. Ryan Drury, a 21-year-old junior at Southern Methodist University says Huzzaz is useful for exactly this purpose. “It’s so useful. Indeed, Yang says that one of the challenges for Huzzaz is bandwidth and scalability. “Our vision was to cast a wide net but it’s difficult to implement,” he says. Ultimately, he says Huzzaz is a passion project.

Teens Make Film In Broken English To Explain Why They'll Fail English : Goats and Soda A film focuses on the debate about whether classes should be taught in the colonial language of English or French versus the local languages that students understand and speak with fluency. Two minutes into Present Tense, a short film made by three high school students in a fishing village in the East African island of Zanzibar, a set of subtitles lay out their mission: The film examines one of the oldest debates in African education. Should classes be taught in the colonial language of English (or French) or in local languages that students speak and understand more fluently? For the filmmakers, this question charts their future.
