During the Spring 2013 semester, the students in Professor Peter Vellon’s Seminar 2 class researched the relationship between immigration and migration, race, and class on the Lower East Side’s identity. They translated their research into websites geared toward the general public with the help of the course’s Instructional Technology Fellow, Caroline Erb-Medina. Students were divided into groups to focus on the history, labor, food, culture, and demographics of different ethnic groups on the Lower East Side. Along with their research, students also learned how to customize a WordPress site. Every student participated in making the main design decisions for their sites. Each group incorporated tools including Google Maps, iMovie, iPhoto, and embedded music on their sites.

The students’ mission statement is as follows: “”To chronicle the growth and development of Brooklyn College as an institution, through the lens of the immigrant experience there.
This is done through:
1) Documenting immigrant experiences there through oral history accounts,
2) Analyzing the extent to which the history of New York has shaped the immigrant experience at Brooklyn College, and
3) Analyzing the role that immigrants have played in shaping the Brooklyn College experience.
