Prof. Justin Davis, SPE 1330 Prof. Jody Rosen, ENG 1101 Brook­lyn is a col­lec­tion of neigh­bor­hoods and lo­ca­tion, a mi­cro­cosm of the world. This se­mes­ter our Being in Brook­lyn Learn­ing Com­mu­nity will ex­plore Brook­lyn through archives at the Brook­lyn His­tor­i­cal So­ci­ety and li­brary re­search, in­te­grat­ing our own ex­pe­ri­ences in the City Tech vicin­ity. Our goal is to com­mu­ni­cate ef­fec­tively, through read­ing and writ­ing and lis­ten­ing and speak­ing, what it means to exist in Brook­lyn. We will use a va­ri­ety of ap­proaches in­clud­ing spo­ken and writ­ten as­sign­ments that em­ploy Web 2.0 tech­nolo­gies in­clud­ing City Tech’s Open­Lab dig­i­tal plat­form as well as YouTube and Google Maps. These as­sign­ments will cre­ate a dig­i­tal archive of life in Brook­lyn that will be avail­able to ex­plore in the fu­ture.

Prof. Justin Davis, SPE 1330 Prof. Jody Rosen, ENG 1101 Brooklyn is a collection of neighborhoods and location, a microcosm of the world. This semester our Being in Brooklyn Learning Community will explore Brooklyn through archives at the Brooklyn Historical Society and library research, integrating our own experiences in the City Tech vicinity. Our goal is to communicate effectively, through reading and writing and listening and speaking, what it means to exist in Brooklyn. We will use a variety of approaches including spoken and written assignments that employ Web 2.0 technologies including City Tech’s OpenLab digital platform as well as YouTube and Google Maps. These assignments will create a digital archive of life in Brooklyn that will be available to explore in the future.
