The Media Spot

PS 130 Blog Screenshot Over a 6-day contract with 130 in the Windsor Terrace neighborhood in Brooklyn we've set up a free WordPress.com blog, developed and modeled classroom publishing projects for students, got them posting weekly announcements from the office, and helped the staff start to conquer their fear of school technology!

Two 3rd grade classes have posted African Travel Brochures with their writing, and have copied and pasted images from the Internet to illustrate their posts.

Four 1st grade classes have been responding to posts made by teachers with "comments" describing their memories from the past year.

We've done 6 professional development sessions with the K-3 teachers to get everyone comfortable with their classroom computers and get in the habit of checking their blog, and becoming members of the schools budding online community.
