Meet Craig Campbell and his students, at PS/IS 150 in Brownsville, NY. Mr. Campbell and his students created the “School of Rap,” using Flocabulary as inspiration for their own brand of Hip-Hop in the Classroom.

Check out the pics, and listen to a song the class recorded below. Dare I say, the production is truly ahead of its time and the rhymes just get stuck in your head. We’ve been singing it at Flocabulary for days!

Craig Campbell got in touch with us with an amazing story of turning “disinterested rebels” into “engaged students” with Flocabulary programs (in his case, Hip-Hop U.S. History).

Mr. Campbell writes,

“My students’ interest in Flocabulary got me thinking. I had some Mac computers with Garageband software, a personal interest in home recording and, low and behold, a talented 7th grader named Pablo who could play piano and program beats. Soon we were writing lyrics, positive and school appropriate, as modeled in Flocabulary. We called ourselves School of Rap and recorded about six songs. Everyone had a chance to rap… Interest in all subjects increased and conflict in the classroom lessened. The class was obviously proud.”

Way to go, School of Rap. You all did a fantastic job, and we know your talent and motivation will lead you all to great things.
