Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan was at Incarnation Catholic Academy in Queens, New York on November 22 blessing some of the new spaces at the school. He helped unveil the Incarnation’s new hydroponics lab, library, student council room and computer room – all of which were made possible by NET-TV’s parent company DeSales Media Group.
The computer room will be used for a six-module media communications course developed by Catholic Telemedia Network (CTN) to teach the kids lessons about journalism and social media.
Bishop Brennan says the upcoming classes are a great way to introduce kids to the online world, while students say they’re eager to start spreading the good news.
“We always hear about social media and both positive and negative tones. and it’s like anything else in the world has to be developed in a responsible way and to be felt in a responsible way,” Bishop Brennan tells Currents News. “Then, it can be great help for communications.”
“I’m very excited because I feel like I need to get better. on saying my speeches and pronunciation. I’m putting out my work and all that in my writing because I like to write a lot,” Savanna Wharton, an 8th grader at Incarnation Catholic Academy, says.
“I like writing stories in my free time. I like talking and writing a lot,” adds 6th grader Austin Belizaire. “I like sharing my own experiences so that seems pretty fun to me.”
Incarnation Catholic Academy is the first school to host the CTN program. DeSales Media donated iPads that will be used to facilitate media creation and will have several staff members taking part in the efforts, including Currents News’ anchor Christine Persichette.
