Closing out 2007-2008!

Video Production at PS 124 Today was day 200 of 200 of our 2-year media ed contract with PS 124 in Brooklyn! Monday will mark the end of this year's technology consulting to Manhattan's PS 334 through our new relationship with AUSSIE, and Tuesday will close out our first year of media education work with PS 130 in Brooklyn.
