Let's scoot back to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79. Pompeii was buried under a thick layer of ash and lava. A thick layer -- 19 feet!  Pompeii is the world's oldest archaeological dig. It was a gem of a dig!  Archeologists began digging Pompeii in 1748. Because of this volcanic ash blanket, scientists were able to see, literally what people were eating and drinking the moment the volcano blew. Remember your World Civ class we learned about the intact frescos and sculpture. This exploration is how “fast food” counters were held in tact…They were called thermopolia. They were for the poor and working class. The rich were fond of parties in their home--as if a series of catering events.  One quick note. Several of Holy Guacamole's listeners say the history of hospitality, laid out, is giving them perspective. Perspective on how they run their business, how they craft their menu, and how they craft the experience a guest has. Feel free to share your thoughts and reflections in a review, or email me, Martha Lucius, directly. If you need to infuse a bit of ancient history into your modern day reataurant, bar or cafe, you know I am always up for a project. Reach out. I am happy to help today's founders and established restaurant owners. You are all doing remarkable work.

Jerry Pattengale is a prolific and award-winning author and academic. A long-time executive and inaugural University Professor at Indiana Wesleyan University. He was one of two founding scholars for the Museum of the Bible and in executive leadership until retiring last year. He is associate publisher for Christian Scholar's Review and on the boards for Yale's Jonathan Edwards Center and Africa New Life (Rwanda), and the membership committee for the National Press Club. He holds distinguished appointments at Tyndale House Cambridge, the Sagamore Institute, Excelsia College (Australia), the Moody Center, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He's the author of dozens of books. A few of his recent books are... The State of the Evangelical Mind And Is the Bible at Fault?: How the Bible Has Been Misused to Justify Evil, Suffering, and Bizarre Behavior His most recent book, Inexplicable: How Christianity Spread to the Ends of the Earth, is now a TV series on TBN. Just last month Jerry appeared before the United Nations where he spoke about protecting religious spaces. And he is the president of the Religion News Foundation. On a personal note, I showed up at Indiana Wesleyan as a freshman in 1998. I was an aspiring intellectual. Alright. Now it'd be a stretch to call me an intellectual today. But back then I was aspiring. And I had World Civ to 1600 with this guy and he was the embodiment of the ideal professor in my mind. He was kinda like my Indiana Jones. He was inspiring in the classroom, and I have so many stories and personal notes about Jerry outside the classroom. What I appreciated about this interview: The word “honing” comes up a lot. God hones us and we hone ourselves. God may bring us experiences to help us hone our gifts or our skills. We are also responsible for doing our own honing. The discipline required to hone a gift or a skill. We talked about the “Wedge” principle -- and the narrower your wedge the deeper you can go. I asked him about a line from a past interview, “At 40 you accept certain limitations for your life, and limitations are a gift.” (Rick Soto). Jerry thought this was true in the sense that as you limit yourself you are getting a more narrow wedge and you can do deeper. I first met Jerry when he was about 40 and viewed him as very successful, but it was not until he was 37 that much started to come together. Jerry is quotable: “The dream needs to be stronger than the struggle.” “Sometimes you need to fall off one cliff to climb another.” He talked about how none of us really know what are real contribution is. We're holding onto “tarnished trophies” that don't matter. Jerry talked about things that he'll never do. Students of Jerry's may remember his “Crossing the Jordan” lecture. Moses, would never cross the Jordan River. His understudy Joshua would. I asked Jerry, “What's your Jordan?” His answer was very interesting to me! This is a great interview. Jerry is a full of wisdom. Give it a listen and check out his author page on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Jerry-A.-Pattengale/e/B001JS08J0#

Recently, my buddy Michael Brilla shared information on how to utilize Google Drawings. He sent me a Padlet by Karly Moura. I was mesmerized by this Padlet. The info and the direction were solid...but I was also captivated by the Padlet itself. I immediately started scheming, How can I utilize a Padlet for my next lesson prompt? It was a short skull-session. My World Civ students were due for their research paper prompt. Writing a research paper, for many students, is a daunting task. I decided to deliver my prompt and ample instructions and encouragement via a Padlet.My efforts were fruitful! To back up this audacious claim, I commandeered two original sources. Ben Momeni and Cecilia Sutton are seniors at our school and students in my World Civ class. I permit them to migrate from study hall to my room during the last period of each day. Since I rescue them every 24 hours, they were happy to help me by appearing as guests. They're wonderful, intelligent, and articulate young people. They'll provide onsite reporting on what it's like to have a prompt dropped on you via Padlet.

In today's episode, Tom interviews iLEAD Academy's Director, Larisa McKinney, iLEAD Academy teacher Jessica Crenshaw, and Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative Director of Innovation, Alicia Sells.   Tom was in Kentucky last month and took a visit to iLEAD Academy — a new school developed out an idea from five western Kentucky Superintendents who wanted to create a cooperative high school that offers a STEM focus with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) courses. Alicia Sells, OVAC Director of Innovation, was asked to work on it and she went above and beyond expectations.   iLead Academy is an Early College High School where the goal is to help students earn an associate's degree, or, at the very least, a significant amount of credit towards college. In a career-focused accelerated pathway, they are preparing students to succeed in an increasingly project-based and global economy, and are creating opportunities to help students develop a competitive advantage.   Listen in to this episode to learn more about iLEAD, why it's successful, the obstacles Jessica, Larisa, and Alicia have overcome, and their advice for other communities looking to start a new, innovative, career-focused school much like iLEAD.   Key Takeaways: [1:14] Clips from Tom's tour of the iLEAD's woodshop. [2:58] About the shop at iLEAD. [3:46] The concept behind iLEAD, the process students go through, and how many students go there. [4:50] About iLEAD's accelerated learning experience and the different pathways students can take. [6:15] iLEAD's small-focused learning environment that also allows students to maintain affiliation with their traditional, home school district. [7:49] Alicia introduces herself and she explains where the idea of iLEAD came from. [10:33] Jessica, a teacher of World Civ and English, introduces herself and explains how she teaches her classes. [11:27] What it has been like for Jessica to teach English using the Summit Learning Platform. [12:58] The benefits to Jessica's blended-learning classroom with an emphasis on teacher-involvement and the growth she sees in her students. [14:56] The project-based elements in the courses. [15:42] How Larisa manages to balance it all: Summit learning, Project Lead The Way, and interfacing with five districts. [18:06] ‘Owning their own learning'; the many choices the students have at iLEAD and how Larisa cultivates this level of agency. [19:58] Jessica's mentorship to a group of students. [21:39] Alicia's favorite part about iLEAD and her advice to other communities wanting to start an innovative school like iLEAD. [23:24] Students' strength in overcoming the absence of parents to pursue education. [23:46] Larisa's advice to communities that want to start an innovative, career-focused school like iLEAD.

Every semester when I get to the point in World Civ when we’re talking about Nazi Germany, I ask my students to guess how many camps and ghettos there were. I get guesses anywhere from a few, to a few dozen, to a couple thousand. When I tell them that the true number is above 40,000, I get astonished stares and a barrage of ‘your kidding’ (and stronger words). The camps and ghettos were an essential part of the Nazi system.So today we’re beginning a five part series dedicated to the camps and ghettos in Germany, the areas Germany controlled and in Germany’s allies. Later this summer we’ll hear from Sarah Helms, Nik Wachsmann, Dan Stone and Shelly Cline. The series starts, however, with an interview with Geoff Megargee. Geoff is the general editor of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos (Indiana University Press 2009-).This is a monumental project. Each of the first two volumes runs well over 1000 pages and includes an enormous amount of information. Once the series is done, it will probably exceed 10,000 pages. The result will be an almost unprecedented addition to our understanding of the Holocaust. I’ll talk with Geoff about the process of creating the Encyclopedia and about how the accumulation of knowledge about specific camps can reshape our understanding of the Holocaust as a whole.
