As a first generation student in the 70's she experienced the many obstacles Latino students faced trying to get a college education. She vowed when she was able to help ease that burden for other Latino students she would assist them to fulfill their goals of getting a college degree. Her career background has been in Higher Education Administration. She served as Director of Admissions for Newman University in Wichita, Kansas in the late 80's and later took a position as Associate Director of Graduate Programs at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. During her time at Harvard she and several of the Latino graduate students founded the Journal of Hispanic Policy.

Dr. Kyriakos Nalmpantis is Chair of the Department of History and assistant professor of European history at Baldwin Wallace University. He has a total of nineteen years teaching experience, and in addition to teaching at Baldwin Wallace, has taught at Cleveland State University, Kent State University, and at the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. His primary research focus is on wartime Greece and the Balkans, but he is also a specialist in Reformation-era Europe, contemporary European history and modern Latin American history. At Baldwin Wallace, he also teaches a course on classical antiquity that is mostly focused on ancient Greece and Rome. In 2011, his dissertation, Time on the Mountain: The Office of Strategic Services in Axis-Occupied Greece, won the Modern Greek Studies Association's biennial Iatrides Dissertation Prize for best dissertation. He has also published short biographical articles on three important Greek Orthodox prelates — Metropolitan Germanos Karavaggelis, Archbishop Damaskinos and Archbishop Makarios — in the Encyclopedia of Modern Christian Politics (Greenwood Publishing, 2006). Dr. Nalmpantis also serves on both the National Council and the Scholarship Committee for Phi Alpha Theta, which is the National Honor Society for History. Dr. Nalmpantis has his master's degree and his PhD in history from Kent State University, which is where we crossed paths – I took his History of the Balkans class as an upper division undergrad when I was there at Kent State and it was one of my favorite classes in undergrad – it definitely deepened my interest in the Balkans, and his unique and captivating, really effortless classroom teaching style still stands out in my mind to this day as one that I might hopefully be able to emulate at some point!

I serve as Associate Director for Educational Development in the Biggio Center at Auburn University. I also serve as co-chair of PODs Digital Resources and Innovations committee.

In her pleadings before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, the victim claimed that the suspended driver was acting within the scope of his employment and that she legitimately thought it would be a safe ride. But the court disagreed.  Judge Corley did find, however, that the victim had made out a plausible claim for negligence and permitted her to refile for punitive damages for negligence stemming from Uber’s apparent failure to ensure the driver removed the decal from his window. The driver still faces a criminal trial which could send him away for life.  Separately, Uber has begun videotaping rides. But the effort has faced resistance from privacy advocates.  Prisoners in West Virginia prisons to be charged $.03 per minute to read e-books  West Virginia prisoners will have to pay $.03 per minute to access e-books via Project Gutenberg, which otherwise offers the public free access to over 60,000 books. The West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation (WVDCR) entered into a deal with Global Tel Link (GTL) to provide tablets to 10 prisons in West Virginia which will also allow inmates to watch videos and send written messages and photos. But the rates for those services, ranging between $.25 and $.50 per minute, are still very high relative to the $.04 per hour to $.58 per hour prisoners can earn in wages. The prisons will lift a current restriction on accessing books in print. But advocates who oppose the exploitative $.03 per minute fee for e-books note that the use of books in print comes with many more restrictions.  DC AG sues DoorDash for wage theft  DC Attorney General Karl Racine is suing DoorDash for pocketing tips the company solicits from customers. The Office of the Attorney General has been investigating the company since March, and now says that evidence shows that DoorDash routinely kept the tips to reduce the amount they had to pay drivers in wages.  Congresswoman Val Demings introduces bipartisan digital evidence bill  Florida Congresswoman Val Demings, a Democrat, has introduced new bipartisan legislation to improve law enforcement’s access to digital evidence from tech companies. The bill would create a new Office of Digital Law Enforcement within the Department of Justice to train law enforcement on how to handle digital evidence. It would also create a Center for Excellence for Digital Forensics to centralize tech expertise and legal assistance within the same building. The bill would also set up infrastructure for the DOJ to issue digital evidence program grants, as well as a Technology Policy Advisory Board to advise the Attorney General on digital evidence best practices.  Brooklyn landlord nixes facial recognition plan  A Brooklyn landlord has cancelled plans to install facial recognition technology after resistance from tenants and advocacy groups. Robert Nelson, President of Nelson Management Group, owns the 700-unit Atlantic Plaza Towers building in Brownsville where most tenants are black. Tenants and their supporters are now pushing for statewide legislation that would outlaw facial recognition technology throughout the Empire State.  Democrats call out Oracle on Diversity  Democratic lawmakers who are members of the House Tech Accountability Caucus, the Tri-Caucus, and the Congressional Black Caucus’ Diversity Task force called out Oracle for its lack of diversity in a letter to Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. The letter notes that Oracle has 0% board diversity, saying it is unacceptable given Oracle’s attempts to earn business from firms that serve people of color.

Interview with Claire Bradin Siskin, WorldCALL 3 workshop presenter. Revoluton for Language Learning site: http://edvista.com/claire/rev/. Revolution Learning Templates: http://edvista.com/claire/rev/templates/templates.html WorldCALL 3 website: http://www.j-let.org/~wcf/modules/tinyd0/ Hello and welcome to another WorldCALL 3 podcast. This podcast features an interview with Professor Claire Bradin Siskin, a workshop presenter at this summer’s conference. Music It is early May, and there is still plenty of time to register for WorldCALL 3. This podcast is particularly aimed at those of you planning to attend the pre-conference workshops, and I really recommend that you do since there is a great selection of interesting opportunities to learn. To start to help you reach a decision on which workshops to attend, today we’re going to have our first interview with a workshop presenter, Claire Bradin Siskin , whose workshop is titled, Join the Revolution. The revolution involves a certain piece of software that allows users to easily create interactive learning applications for the computer. I’ll let her tell you more in a moment. She is director of the Robert Henderson Language Media Center at the University of Pittsburgh, and co-chair of the Program Committee for WorldCALL 3, in addition to being a workshop presenter and it certainly would not be wrong to call her one of the early pioneers in the field of CALL. I sent her some questions to learn more about her role with WorldCALL and the content of her workshop. 1) Could you introduce yourself and talk a little about your work and research areas? I started my teaching career as a Spanish teacher and then taught English as a second and foreign language for many years. I first became inspired by the possibilities of computer-assisted language learning (or CALL) in 1983. That was when I first had a microcomputer at home. In those early days, my son had to help me a lot because I didn’t know much about computers. One day I took my computer to class and watched my students work with a simple vocabulary exercise. I’ll never forget the excitement and energy in the classroom that day. Even though 6 students were working at only one computer, they loved the fact that they could interact with the program and get feedback. Today I work in a language lab, and I support the use of technology in learning many different languages. I guess I’ve never lost that feeling of excitement and enthusiasm that comes when the computers work as we intend them to and truly support the language learner. I have learned that CALL is most successful when language teachers are engaged in the process, so I am involved in teacher education. I am especially interested in software programs and tools that make it easier for teachers and learners to use computers effectively. I also teach a graduate-level course about CALL. 2) What has been your role with WorldCALL? I attended the first 2 WorldCALL conferences – first in Melbourne, Australia in 1998 and then in Banff, Canada in 2003 and presented papers at both. For those 2 conferences, I also served as chair of the Scholarship Committee. The committee members selected CALL practitioners from underserved countries to attend WorldCALL. The opportunity to attend WorldCALL and meet the scholarship recipients at both conferences was a rewarding experience, and I look forward to meeting the 2008 awardees in Japan. For the 2008 conference, I am co-chairing the Program Committee with Françoise Blin. Françoise and I are doing our best to put together a program which will be international in scope and reflective of the multiple ways in which computers are used today in language learning. We have the help of a large Program Committee, and we are especially grateful for the support that we have received from our Japanese hosts in the LET organization. 3) After I read the outline for your workshop, I took a look at the website for Runtime Revolution. The software seems impressive, but could you tell us what the benefits are to using this tool and how it differs from other programs that could be used to make CALL materials? Revolution is a little hard to define. It is described as a “rapid application development (RAD) tool,” and it has also been called a “software erector set.” If you liked playing with modelling clay when you were a child, you will enjoy Revolution. It gives the developer a lot of freedom to create. Some CALL practitioners may remember HyperCard, which was a popular tool for creating CALL materials for the Macintosh. Revolution incorporates many of the features of HyperCard, but it has been developed much further, and it offers many advantages over HyperCard. Revolution is cross-platform, and it is possible to develop materials on a PC and export them to a Macintosh, or vice-versa. There is integrated color, and you can capture and play back both audio and video files. It can be integrated with database programs and with the Internet. It is fairly easy to collect learner data with Revolution, so it is an ideal tool for both research and assessment in a language lab setting. What I like best about Revolution is its ease of use. Both teachers and students seem to enjoy creating materials with it, and they don’t need to have high-level programming skills to do this. I also like the fact that I can use Revolution without depending on the Internet, but I can also use it to connect to the resources on the Internet if I need to. 4) Many people are now using course management systems such as Moodle or Blackboard and using freely available content sharing tools to add multimedia and interactivity to their courses. What benefits do you see software like Revolution offering such instructors? In the first place, Revolution can be used to create CALL materials for those situations in which the Internet is not available at all or is not dependable. Course management systems do allow one to share multimedia resources, but the degree of interactivity with the learner isn’t as well developed as it is with Revolution. To achieve a high degree of interactivity in web-based materials requires the use of programs such as Java or Flash. Revolution is much easier to learn than either of these. I’m doing what I can to make the process of learning about Revolution even easier. If you are interested, you might want to check out my web page, “Revolution for Language Learning,” at http://edvista.com/claire/rev/. Also, I have created a number of templates for language learning. These can be downloaded from http://edvista.com/claire/rev/templates/templates.html. The purpose of the templates is to show language educators what can be done with Revolution and give them a starting point for developing their own CALL materials. Marcel: Well that brings us to the end of this podcast. I would like to thank our guest today, Claire Bradin Siskin, for taking part. I’m sure her workshop will be interesting. You can find the exact time and place of the workshop listed on the WrodCALL 3 website.
