USS Oklahoma Memorial Dedication

posted in distributed-learning, history, military | Comments Off

I have uploaded the entire dedication ceremony for the USS Oklahoma Memorial from December 7, 2007, in Pearl Harbor Hawaii to the OETA ftp server for subsequent transfer and posting to the NewsOK.com “Brightcove” video server. The entire ceremony was approximately two hours long. These videos will be subsequently “chunked” into pieces that are less than 20 minutes long each (which is required by Brightcove) and available as linkable, embeddable flash movies. If you would like to download and view the entire ceremony before it becomes available in smaller “chunks” on Brightcove, you can download it in the following two segments:

December 6th videoconference from Pearl Harbor

posted in digitalstorytelling, distributed-learning, history | Comments Off

Our 47 minute videoconference on December 6, 2007, from Ford Island in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, is available in three different segments from OETA and NewsOK.com. This was a fantastic interactive videoconference, and was followed by an additional 45 minute question and answer videoconference with Oklahoma students. Dick Pryor of OETA hosted and facilitated conversations with those involved with the USS Oklahoma memorial dedication, as well as two veteran survivors of the USS Oklahoma attack on December 7, 1941. Here are the direct links as well as embedded videos of this videoconference.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

This videoconference was shared as a webcast online, allowing more learners from Oklahoma as well as other locations to view these discussions “live.” More information about these videoconferences is available on the Oklahoma World War II Stories Project wiki.
