Renee Brown

Brown is teaching her eighth-grade class to embrace history's pains with the "Holocaust and WWII Web Pages" project. This multimedia project encourages students to conduct traditional and non-traditional research techniques to learn information about World War II. Brown is adding an oral history component to the project that includes students recording interviews with Holocaust survivors, veterans and others affected by WWII. The project promotes media literacy, as students are responsible for capturing, editing, and uploading their own video. Students will also learn about global awareness, social responsibility, and civic literacy. Using Web pages as a medium to display the students' assignments will allow for their work to impact the lives of individuals around the world. Brown resides in Bethel Park.
