OLM School Celebrates Veterans

Mr. Somers — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:07:36 +0000

The Podcasting elective class of Fall 2011 produced this video as part of today’s Veteran’s Day program. The poem is from Joanna Fuchs and is titled “They Did Their Share”. We used “God Bless America” (from archive.org) as our background music. The students did a great job and the veteran’s very much appreciated it.

May God Bless our veterans!

Podcast: Moses Part 3

Mr. Somers — Wed, 11 May 2011 21:59:32 +0000

This is the third of a 3 part series of podcasts featuring radio drama -style scripts involving Moses in “what if” situations. They were written by Bob Snook and were fun for the students to produce. In this episode Moses is approached by two book pitchmen to sell his books from the Bible. You’re sure to recognize some of those “informercial” phrases as these two try to get Moses to agree to a book deal. What do you think he would say? Listen and find out!

Special thanks to the guys from the Podcasting elective class for putting in the extra time to get this one done. You might also enjoy our “Podcasting Behind the Scenes” video also posted in our PODCASTS section.

Have a great summer!

This is the second of a 3 part series of podcasts featuring radio drama -style scripts involving Moses in “what if” situations. They were written by Bob Snook and were fun for the students to produce. In this episode Moses asks his brother Aaron to go tell Pharaoh to “let his people go” with Moses prompting Aaron by phone. Only it doesn’t go exactly as planned.
