Monique Maldonado is the CEO at Maldina Publishing, LLC and the author of The Looking List. She's also been the Marketing Director at Latin Rhythms Academy of Dance & Performance for seven years. Her passion for writing and journaling at a young age led her to pursue a bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism at Columbia College Chicago. She then decided to continue her studies in the Arts and attended DePaul University and earned her Master's in New Media Studies. The writing of a children's book developed from the idea of sharing some of her life's obsessions (planning & organization) and teaching valuable life skills to children. If there is one thing she has learned since becoming a mother herself, teaching children the way of the world is hard. Her mission is to create fun and colorful stories that parents can utilize as a fun parenting hack. Monique is the wife of a rock star artist and the mother of two children. But she has also been a blogger, law school academic counselor, professional competitive Latin dancer & instructor, and a beauty pageant winner. When Monique isn't marketing or writing, you can find her crafting, at book club, running board meetings, watching movies, or planning her next party theme.Connect with Monique below:https://www.maldinapublishing.com/https://www.instagram.com/maldinapublishing/https://www.facebook.com/maldinapublishingSupport the showFollow Moms Who Create:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/momswhocreatepodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/momswhocreatepodcastMonthly Meeting Book Club - https://www.facebook.com/groups/momswhocreatebookclubWebsite - https://www.momswhocreate.com/

Anthony Collamati, Associate Professor of New Media Studies at Alma College discusses how collaborative learning technologies like Google’s new Jamboard can help salvage the best parts of the traditional liberal arts experience in a higher ed world that’s quickly migrating online.
Hey Broadbeans! Today we’re interrupting our regularly scheduled programming to bring you a special live recording! On March 13th 2018, JD had the great honor of sitting alongside Dr. Gregory Grieve, Dr. Vit Sisler, and Helen Osman for a panel at SXSW titled “Gaming Religion: Finding Faith in Digital Games”. As it turns out, religion and games have a lot to say to one another. Religious themes have supported the story lines of many mainstream games, from World of Warcraft to Halo and Civilizations. Gaming has also been described as a spiritual endeavor by avid gamers, and religious groups are increasingly creating and using games to counter religious stereotypes and teach members about core beliefs and practices. Stay tuned for a unique discussion about the ways that religion, ethics, and digital gaming intersect through the lenses of research, development, and education, and how video games can address issues of tolerance and cultivate civility in the digital age. You may recognize Dr. Grieve from episode 5, “Imagining Play, Religion, and Education”, and we're over-the-moon to have the voices of Dr. Sisler and Helen Osman on this channel for the first time. Helen Osman is a communications expert who partners with leadership to raise visibility and create momentum for mission-focused and grassroots organizations, including clients such as Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. Greg Grieve is a Professor and Head of the Religious Studies Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He researches and teaches at the intersection of digital culture, religion, and Asian traditions. Vit Sisler is an Assistant Professor of New Media Studies at Charles University in Prague. His research focuses on serious video games, information and communication technologies in the Middle East, and Islam and digital media. He is also a lead designer of the award-winning video game on contemporary history, Attentat 1942, a 2018 IGF finalist in Excellence in Narrative.

Many online news media outlets, especially those that were borne out of print publications, have paywalls. You might be able to view a handful of articles, but you have to pay to keep reading. However, some paywalls are stricter than others. The Financial Times is strict. I was able to read one article, via a Twitter link, and then no more. How does having such a strict paywall affect on-site community building? Community manager and “comments advocate” Lilah Raptopoulos joins the show to talk about it. Plus: What having wealthier commenters does to the comments How the Financial Times identifies the value of on-site community efforts The thing Lilah would like to do next when she secures development resources for the FT comments Our Podcast is Made Possible By… If you enjoy our show, please know that it’s only possible with the generous support of our sponsor: Higher Logic. Big Quotes “[Having a strict paywall] means that we don’t really have a major troll problem. We don’t have a lot of comments that are spamming or going in to wreak havoc or distract people consciously. … That means that some of these issues that a lot of news organizations, with more open paywalls or no paywalls, have are things we don’t have to worry about. But it does mean that, yes, we have fewer comments, and it means that we have different issues that we’re facing around contentious topics than a news organization that doesn’t have such a high barrier to participate.” -@lilahrap “You [have] a commenter who has commented very thoughtfully on a number of topics, but about the European migration crisis, they leave a comment that could be considered Islamaphobic. It’s careful in its wording, but clearly prejudiced, or maybe a questionable interpretation of the facts. It gets a hundred likes. If you delete it as a moderator, you lose the opportunity for someone to respond and have a conversation happen that could actually build empathy and develop these opinions. I’ve seen it happen before in our comments. You delete the comment and the opportunity is gone. The person, and all those who agree with them, continue on unchallenged and convinced of media bias. But if you don’t delete it, and the conversation doesn’t happen, that comment thread could make a Muslim reader feel unwelcome on our pages, and not willing to participate, in a place where otherwise, if it felt more open to that point of view, might. I don’t want that either.” -@lilahrap “We have this robust community of commenters on-site. Even though a very small percentage of our readers comment, like most news sites, a surprising, shockingly large percentage of them read the comments. That’s important to us, because these people are our most loyal and engaged subscribers. We care about growing that community, because they’re in our sphere. They’re on our site, they’re having conversations based on our guidelines. It’s a space where they can interact with our journalists. We don’t want to lose them to off-site platforms, which are often thinking quite commercially about creating an experience that’s addictive.” -@lilahrap About Lilah Raptopoulos Lilah Raptopoulos is the community manager at the Financial Times, where she is responsible for reader comments and all other forms of on-site reader participation. Lilah has had a penchant for community journalism since college, where she developed a self-designed major called New Media Studies to explore how new technology has changed the way people interact with each other and their news. After two years in finance, she joined NYU’s Studio 20 masters program in journalism, where, under media critics Jay Rosen and Clay Shirky, she focused on how journalists can use their community of readers as a resource. Lilah worked at The Guardian on a number of community journalism stories and projects, including the British Journalism Award-winning Keep it in the Ground environmental campaign. In 2015, she reported from Greece on the human side of their financial crisis. She has been published in the FT, The Guardian, Public Radio International, Quartz, BuzzFeed News and Fusion.
