A learning community empowering digital witnesses of Oklahoma oral history

OKC3

The Oklahoma Kids Create, Communicate Collaborate competition is sponsored by OTA, ODLA, Instructional Technology Department of the SDE, OneNet and TANDBERG. The competition’s purpose is to allow students from the diverse areas across the state of Oklahoma to create content specific to their geographic, cultural and historical region in order to deliver it as a live, interactive field trip to other students. The content will be created and delivered by students in grades 6-12 and should be aligned with Oklahoma P.A.S.S. learner standards. TANDBERG will be awarding prizes to schools placing in first, second or third place. The sum total retail value of these prizes is approximately $30,000. The scoring rubric, rules and online entry are available at http://okc3.net or by contacting Lance Ford at lance.ford@tandberg.com.

I am so sorry I didn't cross-link this from my blog and elsewhere with Storychasers to share this announcement. I hope you all get some good entries this year.

I am just beginning to find ways to use my newly acquired skills with my seniors. Will the videos produced this year be available on this website for future viewing? My seniors are currently working on a photo-essay project that we will turn into videos to post online.; ▶ Reply to This

I first met KU-Sigma Nu Alum Bruce Dillman at the Wakarusa Watershed's historic Eldridge Hotel in Lawrence, KS. After learning he was a "near peer" of NASA Astronaut Ron Evans, I expanded my "hidden hometown hero" memetics research:

Bruce Dillman's acclaimed communication book, Results On Target, was also published in Germany as Ziel um Ziel. Most of Dillman's careers have involved some sort of communication.

He taught communication courses at The University of Kansas and at St. Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City, Kansas. He was assistant to the general manager at radio stations KECK and KHAT in Lincoln, Nebraska, where his job description included more than two dozen specific functions.

He has also worked at radio stations in Lawrence, Kansas, and Boise, Idaho, at television stations in Boise and in Kansas City, and at the High Plains Journal farm and ranch newspaper. Dillman holds a B.S. degree in journalism and an M.S. in broadcasting, both from The University of Kansas.
