Tune into the weekly MoLLIE Matinee Tuesdays at 3:30pm on GRTV Cable Channel 25 to view MoLLIE productions.
What is MoLLIE?
The Mobile Learning Lab for Information Education (MoLLIE) is an educational program of GRTV, which consists of enthusiastic and talented trainers, professional camcorders, and iBook computers that will come to you. We come to your group and train your students or members to produce and edit their own curriculum-linked videos.
Have you seen MoLLIE?
Since January of 2002, MoLLIE has been in over 45 schools and community organizations, the results of which can be seen every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. on GRTV Cable Channel 25, on the "MoLLIE Matinee."
Gretchen Vinnedge and Deanna Morse, will teach another youth workshop, Move Click Move, for children ages 6-8.
At this year's Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts, the Best Animation award went to “Imagining Olympics 2008.” This film was created by students in a workshop led by GVSU faculty Deanna Morse and Gretchen Vinnedge. The workshop was a collaboration between GVSU and the Mollie Club at GRCMC, as part of the Animation Workshop Group AWG of ASIFA (the International Animation Association). This local initiative was part of an international collaboration, where youth in 13 countries created animations that presented a fresh idea for the Olympic competition.
“Imagining Olympics” has been screened at several International Festivals, including Cinanima in Portugal, Hiroshima International Animation Festival in Japan, the Kids for Kids Film Festival in Montreal, and will be screened at the upcoming KAFF in Hungary. It was also screened in China before the 2008 Olympic games.

Patrick Brown's MOLLIE Rap
Patrick Brown, 14 years old, has been dropping into the MOLLIE office in the CMC Wealthy almost since we moved into place. He's used the Hot Studio to produce a Video Review show, composed music using SoundTrak and now he's written a Rap Poem about what it's like coming to the CMC Wealthy.
MOLLIE Rap
Comin' to this place it can make you real proud.
Come into the Mollie you can see just how.
Look at Mr. Steve
I don't never see him sad.
He teaches me good stuff
and to leave out the past.
Mrs. Gretchen over here lookin' real fine.
She keeps her head up
not gettin' caught behind.
Mr. Rich I like him
he's sometime cool
when he starts talkin'
about his old days in school
Look at Ms. Jeanne
she's the one who got me here.
Now I'm not on the street
havin' no fear
She's been a lot of places
that I don't even know.
She's a real sweet woman
so come and get to know.
This place is real cool
so believe me bro
I'm not playin' games
like an Aprils fools joke
Look at me I'm doin' really good
I'm learning new stuff
even when I'm not at school.
I'm doin' this 'cause I really need to
So thank you for listening
and I hope you come through...
