Description :
Don Bowen’s Electronic Writing class and Justin Noel’s students from McMillan Middle School worked with Coalition for a Strong Nebraska in the fall of 2017. CFASN requested podcast and YouTube videos be made around the policies that affect the top ten initiatives of CFASN. Groups of students chose one policy topic/theme to prepare as audio/visual report which Coalition for a Strong Nebraska can use for educational purposes. The students interviewed a participating nonprofit about the policy issue, conducted research on the policy and topic, wrote a script, and created a 2 minute pod cast or video. UNO students created a space for the podcast to be published. Videos were approved and posted to the CFASN YouTube page.
