archiving academic culture & building community presence on pinterest
DESCRIPTION
NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK @CHICAGO STATE UNIVERSITY The Wendell Phillips Academy High School Pinterest page has been active since fall of 2013. The page/account was established as a result of the numerous pictures, videos that have been created over the last four years by staff and students. This curation tool has been very helpful in several ways. First, it provides students, teachers, community and interested stakeholders with a portal for information about events taking place at Phillips. Academically, the boards have served as a teaching tool during Black History Month, Women's History Month and Poetry Month. Students and teachers are able to access organized links to articles, pictures and videos are a variety of subjects. Through our history board, visitors of Wendell Phillips Academy High School are able to learn more about our illustrious history within the Bronzeville community and contributions to the city of Chicago. Lastly, the boards support all things positive at Phillips high school! Follow us today at: pinterest.com/auslwpahsTRANSCRIPT
