street art mural. In the photos, Corey Reifinger, Philadelphia;
Alex Ortiz and Pedro J. LeDee Jr., Allentown; and Albert Negron
III, Bethlehem, work on their panels.
The mural will be five panels measuring 15 feet wide by 8 feet
tall on Hall Street, which is the alley side of the Donley Center
in Allentown. The fifth mural finalist, not pictured, is Camille
Stanley, New Tripoli.
Positive Reviews for LCCC’s GenCyber Teacher CampLCCC’s GenCyber
Teacher Camp received a glowing review from the National Security
Agency’s GenCyber Team during
their onsite visit. The cybersecurity camp for K-12 teachers,
the only teacher camp in Pennsylvania, was conducted June 24
through 28 by lead instructor Professor Susan Miner, K-12
curriculum specialists Sami Jo Eckhart and Carol Dickerson, and
program director Alan Jeffery.
Giving every aspect of the program a positive rating, the
GenCyber Team concluded that lesson planning and providing the
teacher participants with support and resources were strengths of
the camp. The instruction and activities were engaging throughout
the day, and the camp’s atmosphere encouraged participants to
collaborate and share ideas. The review team was also impressed
with the camp instructors’ use of Canvas to upload resources and
references and to enable the participants to share their completed
lesson plans with each other throughout the upcoming school
year.
In interviews with the GenCyber Team, participants reported that
collaborating with each other was valuable and the resources and
strategies they were given would be useful in the classroom. They
also appreciated the support from the instructors that would
continue after the camp ended, noting that the camp was one of the
best professional development experiences they have had.
At the encouragement of the GenCyber Team to re-apply for
another federal grant, the camp director and instructors are
already planning the program for next summer’s camp.
Children in the Early Learning Center learned about bridges last
week in the STEM summer camp. Children drew blueprints, built
bridges from blocks and tested strength as trucks and cars drove
across their structures. STEM topics include Tools and Blueprints,
Transportation, and Beach Fun. Sessions end Aug. 9.
