media literacy grows through middle school video in brooklyn
For our Spring 2009 session at PS 32 with Good Shepherd Services (GSS) "a social service and youth development agency serving vulnerable New York City children and families", we continued our production work with a new group of kids who brought their own ideas and excitement to the video making process. Along side the GSS staff and the students, we scripted, planned, videotaped, and edited a video on the themes of "growth" and "identity" for their end of the year performance, "Grow Mania".
Special thanks to TMS Interns Caitlin Nagle and Kate Rosenbloom, Ed.M. candidates at Columbia Teachers College Communication, Computing, and Technology in Education (more on them soon...), as well as local documentary filmmakers Jacqueline Arias, and Jason Hutt, and GSS's own Rodolfo Mills for sharing your time and knowledge to your collaboration with students!

Nice feedback from a Twitterer
July 18, 2009 by RhysI posted a link to this video on Twitter, and a media literacy enthusiast "Retweeted (RT)", or passed it on in a note to her following with some kind words:
I'm excited about the potential of sharing the work our students do with a select audience of media literacy education fans through Twitter!
