| Points of View is a project that enables students to utilize digital storytelling to document situational reenactments of issues that have made a significant impact on their lives. The viewer will relive these moments through the eyes of the story tellers, children, who will use digital cameras to capture either still or moving images. These stories are an on-going effort to promote digital citizenship and social action for students living in an urban school district. |
Guyana PD Trip 2012
During a recent professional development trip to Guyana, Mrs. Anderson was able to Skype with her students in NJ while meeting with students from Comenius Primary School in Georgetown, Guyana. Students in Guyana prepared and recited a lovely poem entitled You Are Different It was wonderful opportunity for both groups of students to meet their pen pals and those with whom they interacted during the 2011-2012 school year.

Students at PS # 12 in Paterson, NJ and Comenious Primary School in Georgetown, Guyana meet weekly to discuss issues related to diversity, culture, customs, immigration, and discrimination. Ms. Sharon Alfred and her students in Guyana represent a fusion of Afro-Guyanese, Indo-Guyanese, and native Amerindian cultures.
South Africa PLC
Our partnership in Cape Town, South Africa is headed by Steve Sherman, CEO of Living Maths. During our initial meeting, we were treated to a wonderful brain teaser. My students and I were encouraged to use our "HOTS" or higher order thinking skills to figure out the word problem. How thrilled we were to be introduced to the language and beauty that is Cape Town! Thanks to Stefan Nielsen, our partner in Denmark, we look forward to experiencing a unique cultural exchange with our South African friends on a weekly basis. It's always a treat for us to develop our critical thinking skills while learning about people from far away lands.
