35 W67th Street: A History

Mary N. on Dipity.

We used Dipity to display information about the history of the Macaulay Honors College Building. The Macaulay Honors Building is such an integral part of the Honors College and we felt that understanding the history of the building was important to appreciating the program itself. We learned about the building’s history, honed our research skills, discovered Dipity and its uses, and figured out how to embed our files on ePortfolio.

Macaulay Rascals in Central Park

Brooklyn College Macaulay Students:

Benjamin Rudshteyn, Mahee Islam, Robert Colbourn

What did you do?

We surveyed Central Park for all the opportunities it has for recreation and fun for Macaulay Students.

Why did you choose it?

We chose it, because we feel students do not exercise enough, because of their heavy course-loads. Our video shows that the exercise is worth it.

What did you learn?

We learned that Central Park is indeed a great opportunity for Macaulay students to have a good time.

The Nook of Lincoln Center

We went to Barnes and Noble and took many different photos documenting our jouney . Using the photos we created a stop motion video. We also took video of many key points such as the new Nook e-book reader and the artwork around the store.

We chose to do a photo essay of Barnes and Noble because it is a mecca of people and diversity. It’s a great place to find information, grab a cup of coffee, and relax in the heart of Lincoln Center.

We learned that many different people can have things in common. An array of characters are able to conglomerate in higher learning and delicious coffee.

Barnes & Noble

Here’s our post:

We made a video of Barnes & Noble Bookstore, just in case anybody is not already familiar with it. We started out by filming the surroundings and then proceeded to go inside. We tried to give viewers a broad overview of what the store has to offer. The medium we used was film, and we used iMovie to create our project. Barnes & Noble holds a wide variety of books and other media. Through exploring the store, visitors can find books on all kinds of topics ranging from vampires to salads. We learned that Barnes and Noble has much to offer, and it would take a long time to explore the entire store.

We had a fun time and we hope you did too. Thanks a lot!

Barnes and Nobles: Our Modern Day Saloon

Today we went to Barnes and Nobles, a favorite place to read and relax. Upon entering Barnes and Nobles and noticing the vast number of books on controversial topics, we realized that Barnes and Nobles is the modern day Saloon, for intellectuals to gather and discuss their ideas. We reaffirmed our love for Barnes and Nobles.

1)    We headed straight to Starbucks! What better place for tired students to get a pick-me-up so close to campus?

  1. We explored the reasons for choosing Starbucks over other coffee franchises.
  2. What Starbucks does for the neighborhood.
  3. Of course, we sampled the goods!

2)    We chose Starbucks because of the proximity to the building. It seems to be a place that is incredibly convenient for students.

3)    We learned that Starbucks equals Heaven.

The Gang Visits Juilliard

We are…Abass Bayo-Awoyemi, Andrew Yen, Scott Dumont,
Amrita Narine, Mei Yi Chan, and Anna-sofiya lupolover. THE END!

No but seriously today, we explored the neighborhood encompassing the Macaualy College Honors Building. The Lincoln Center for performing arts caught our attention and we ended up walking over to the Juilliard School, which is
located at Lincoln Center. We took some exclusive footage though we weren’t allowed past the 2nd floor of the building without first applying for a scheduled tour. We chose to explore Juilliard because it’s such a reputable school and we all secretly envy their entire student body for having such talent. We learned that these talented artists either do a lot of their sleeping on the Juilliard lobby stairs and that there are free tours from Monday to Friday so you can check it out too!
