Greetings-Yonkers, New York!

Thanks to the Kids Creating Content Community Contest http://kc3.cilc.org/ TLC students were able to connect with students in Yonkers, NY and present a videoconference entitled "The Progressive Era in America". Our students worked diligently in constructing student generated videos and guided discussions to lead students from the Educational Opportunity Center of Westchester to a deeper understanding of the events in the Progressive Era.

The event started with our talented moderator Danielle who warmly welcomed our guests into TLC and provided highlights of our Lexington culture. She then passed the discussion over to Josh's group who started the presentation with a very creative puppet show which led to a student designed introductory video on the topic of Woman's Suffrage. His group would introduce an idea, provide a video clip for our guests and then discuss its implications.  His group's discussion concluded with a question/answer session that produced many thought provoking responses.

Danielle once again took the stage to introduce Korey's group as they talked about Racial Inequality. The interaction with our guests was powerful as they were able to answer many questions that were given to them on the topic. The highlight of their presentation was a student developed video that showcased racial inequality as it occurred during the Progressive Era. Korey's group asked our guests many questions about the video and they responded in kind which produced a high level two-way discussion across our country.

The Kids Creating Content Community Event was a success and TLC is looking forward to further opportunities to "Go Global!".
