UPDATE (3/2/10): Unfortunately, we did not made the top 10 and will not be in the running for the online voting. There is so much need out there. One of the top 10 candidates had their library flooded. Thank you all for your help and support of this project. ~Mr. Somers
OLM School has submitted an application for a technology makeover grant for our library through Acer Computer. The prize is 10 laptops and 2 desktop computers valued at $12,000. The grant application includes an optional video which has been posted to Youtube. Several faculty and students assisted with this project and I am very grateful for their help. I think you will be pleased with the results after only 3 days. Anthony G. and Jacob B. also were also featured as well as many other students and faculty. I even included the picture of the school forming the cross. I think you will enjoy it.
Here’s the link to the video:

Again, thanks to all those who assisted with this project. I really appreciate it. Finalists will be selected Feb. 1 followed by an online voting period. I hope you will help us spread the work if/when we are chosen as finalists and will help us get LOTS OF VOTES. I’ll let you know when that happens and give you all a link to forward on to as many people as you can.
*Note: Since Youtube is blocked on school computers, you will not be able to view this video on campus. (Darn that system administrator! Wait, that’s me!)

Ever wondered where the term “Baker’s Dozen” came from. This skit, performed by the Podcasting Elective Class of Fall 2009 explains the legend. This is good for December 6, which is Saint Nicholas’s Day, for the Dutch.
There are more Christmas classics from last Fall’s Podcasting Class coming soon, so stay tuned…
Enjoy!!

Once again, we are recycling used printer cartridges and cell phones as a technology fundraiser. Each year we raise $1500-1800 for new hardware and software. In this troublesome economy, here’s a FREE, easy way to help OLM School keep our technology current. The program, through the Funding Factory, pays us money for each QUALIFYING cartridge and cell phone. These donations are then re-purposed in the industry.
Which cartridges qualify? Approximately 80% qualify for this program. To find out if your home or business cartridges qualify, visit this link. If it’s on the list, send it to school with your child.
Pizza Contest
Mr. Somers tracks all cartridge and cell phone donations by class. At the end of the year, the top three classes will get a pizza party for their class.

Thanks for supporting the OLM School Technology Program.
