I’m a freshman at Macaulay Honors College at Queens College who plans to major in Mathematics and Early Elementary Education. This course has taught me to appreciate the myriad of cultures around me, namely those in Corona. My focus on this website was Health Institutions in Corona.

My name is Joseph Szpigiel, and I helped worked on the restaurant guide, the demographics homepage, and the occupations page for the website. My favorite part of our group research was our interview with the Lemon Ice King. They were just so friendly and willing to help in any way. To me, that was what really personifies Corona.

Although I have lived in Queens for almost my whole life, I have never journeyed into Corona before. Actually, my only familiarity with the neighborhood was from the TV show, The King of Queens. Since I was assigned to the “economy/work/labor” group, I had to pay attention to the stores and restaurants found. However, as my group was forming our page, we realized we had overlapping information with the “demographics” group and the “arts and culture” group. Thus, we all ended up merging with those two groups, and we were able to form a collaborative page.
Since I am fascinated with the history of Corona, I wrote the short history of Corona found on “The People” link. Also, I think to understand the change in the economy, it is important to see how it was in the past.

Living in Queens my whole life, I was pretty familiar with Corona. However, I was oblivious to the world of online blogging. This project was a particular struggle for me because I am pretty much computer illiterate. Learning how to add pictures, use umapper, align text, and make movies on iMovie was a completely new experience for me. Although most of these endeavors took me about two hours each, with the help of our ITF, Maggie, I was able to conquer the beast – our eportfolio.
On the site, I was originally in “the people” group, but working on the demographics of the educational system, I was switched to “the places” group under “educational institutions”. I made the map for that page, showing the exact location of all the schools in the neighborhood. I also made the short, 8-second video of the school bus at the top, using original video from the walking tour. I was responsible for formatting the sliding pictures on the homepage. These pictures are links to all the other pages on the site. If these pictures were too confusing for the viewers, my classmates decided to leave a bar underneath with the same links.
