Students of PTW Brian, Ben, TJ, Quinn, Tori, and Sarah ventured to a campus activity that sounded interesting yesterday. We are all very excited to have visited the Post TV station. We met Alexa, Liam, and Ryan who were welcoming and shared with us this awesome setting. Alexa G. a freshman at LIU Post is determined to make some positive changes in utilizing the station to record and broadcast educational and meaningful material and news. Alexa led PTW on a tour of the station, explained how certain equipment is used, gave our students tips on creating a podcast, and shared some other things that she is involved in. Alexa writes for the LIU Tide paper and has a radio show on the Wave website that features EDM dance music. It was a great experience and it appears that this may not be the last time PTW and PTV joins up! To be continued .......    Thomas

We had the opportunity to visit the LIU PTV club today to gain insights into their operations. PTV, the campus television station, is conveniently located in Room 214 of the Humanities building on Long Island University Post's (LIU Post) campus. PTV strives to provide dependable and current news coverage of the campus, and their broadcasts are easily accessible on channel 96.

During our tour, we were given a demonstration of their expertise in managing lighting and cameras, which was fascinating. As PTV is still in its early stages, they are actively seeking new members to join their club. Additionally, they produce compelling shows such as on-campus news segments and engaging talk shows that cover a diverse range of topics. - Tayjohn

Me, Brian, Ben, TJ, Tori and Sarah we went to the TV station at Humanities Hall for PTV Post TV Station.  Alexa Garrett was so nice she welcomed us to this tv station in the studio where we see a lot of cameras, lights, props and a set of chairs and desk. She talked about how she got to do some podcasts for opinions at Post Television Station. We took a tour of the talk show sets and props and spotlight.  We also saw computers and took us behind the scenes for PTV news on Youtube and on Instagram.  I love being on tv.  Brian, Ben and me we walked around the studio and Martha took a video of us while we're having fun on set.  This was really fun meeting Alexa, Ryan and Liam. - Quinn

At the LIU PTV we met with Alexa. She showed us what they do to film the on campus news and live talk show. She even told us how this job could relate to being a youtuber or streamer. The experience was a great way to learn how to start your own show whether it be Youtuber, Streamer, Podcast group, and/or other. - Brian F.

It was a great experience for me, I enjoyed it.   -Sarah

SGA Petting Zoo Spectacular!

Today we went to the annual petting zoo on LIU’s great lawn. The animals were cute. There were bunnies, ducks, sheep, a bull, goats, and even a baby goat named Biscuit. I also got to hold Biscuit. The only downside was it was raining, but it was still good to see the animals. - Brian F.

Paganini was from Italy and lived from 27 October 1782 – 27 May 1840 We all enjoyed the show and were intrigued with learning about this very influential composer and musician.

The PTW students went to see the show at the Krassnoff Theater. It was fun I loved it!! It was unique. The mermaids were talked about the water cycle and there were so many characters in the show. It was so funny and there were a lot of kids screaming and cheering. The best part of the show is we were singing and dancing about the song. There were doing a lot of dance moves and using our hand motions.  I saw Anna and Stephanie they were there and of course Megan too. - Quinn :)

I went to go see The Poseidon, The Mermaids, And The Water Cycle at Tiles Center Krassnoff theater this Thursday (02/29) with the class. I loved seeing the creatures who are also the characters, the costumes, how the set design is, the story-line, the storytelling, when the person with the cloud head, and the message behind it. It was also interesting to learn about the water cycle and climate change in a fun entertaining way for those who are not as much aware of those topics. I'd give it an 5 star. As someone who is a big theater person, loves set design, behind the scenes, and a kid at heart.

Our Trip to Esports Arena 11/16/23

Last week, we went to the Esports arena in Hillwood for fun, so everyone was playing games together in particular me and Brian played some Mario kart 8 deluxe and smash ultimate Mario kart. This was a lot of fun especially on 200cc which is the fastest game difficulty (I left a video link in the image below for anyone who is curious how fast 200cc) and for smash ultimate we played a few rounds together.

Title: Foster Club Coats Drive

Date: 10/12/23

Hey, today Tori and I attended a cool event called a coat drive. It was hosted by an awesome organization called FosterClub. These guys are on a mission to help young people who have been in foster care by connecting them to resources, providing education and inspiration, and giving them a voice. They believe that experience is just as valuable as expertise, which is a refreshing perspective.

Their vision is to create a world where every young person who has been in foster care has everything they need to thrive. That's a pretty amazing goal, right?

Fun fact - FosterClub was started in 1999 and is based in Seaside, Oregon. They have over 44,000 members - that's a lot of people making a difference!

Oh, and they've partnered with another organization called StandUp for Kids. These guys are all about ending youth homelessness, one kid at a time. Their goal is to build communities where every young person feels cared for, loved, and supported. They're not case managers, they're care advocates - which I think is a really important distinction.

StandUp for Kids has been helping young people since 1990 and works with them until they turn 25. They have a whole Theory of Change that guides their work.

If you want to learn more about either of these organizations, check out their websites - https://www.fosterclub.com/about and https://www.standupforkids.org.
