Multimedia technology enhanced materials development for indigenous language revitalization
No full textUtilizing multimedia technology allows for materials to be developed and disseminated, expands the domains in which the language is used, provides relevance, significance and purpose, and also provides for preservation of Indigenous languages (Author 2009). This presentation discusses results from a course that enriches theory, practice and application with project-based outcomes (low-, mid-, and high-technology initiatives) based on the adapted technacy framework for Indigenous language revitalization (ATFILR). The ATFILR includes five components that are required to determine the appropriateness of the use of technology in Indigenous language revitalization: linguistic and cultural, social, technological, environmental, and economic factors. Every factor requires consideration of each of the other four factors to help decide the appropriateness of technology in response to local contexts and individual or community goals.
Using this framework, the course created a platform to utilize multimedia technology resources that supports Indigenous language revitalization specifically and other heritage languages broadly, based upon a targeted audience and degree of fluency. Theoretical discussions were complemented with hands on technology training, which provided Indigenous and heritage language speakers, learners and educators opportunities to create and develop materials for language education. Students were re-introduced to mindtools that are common everyday technologies found in most homes, schools, and offices (i.e. word processing and presentation software) to learn with and along side. Using these tools, each student built upon their understanding to include new skills to increase linguistic and digital knowledge.
In a short period of time, each student successfully created several language materials, in a language other than English, which included a hardcopy book (low-tech initiative), audio recording or digital story (mid-tech initiative), and a multimedia interactive language lesson (high-tech initiative). In addition, students demonstrated how their new developed materials would be used to supplement language learning and teaching environments. The cultural and linguistic diversity of the students and range of their academic backgrounds contributed to material development in various languages that included: həәn̓ q̓ əәmin̓ əәm̓ , Hul’q’umi’num’, Cree, Dene, Kwak’wala, Liq’wala, Sliammon, Nisga’a, Tahltan, Lakota, Mohegan, Maliseet, Maidu, Blackfoot, Musqueam, Nahuatl, Dogon, Lusoga, Greek, Japanese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish. Though each student varied in their language ability, their enthusiasm and success came from the need to create language learning environments for their family, community, and students
Upgrading California’s Home Care Workforce: the impact of political Action and Unionization
No full textCandace Howes examines the recent history of one of California\u27s rapidly growing occupations: home care. As the author\u27s analysis demonstrates, home care has been extensively transformed in recent years through large-scale unionization and coalition-based political action, which have led to major improvements in wages and benefits. Apart from providing many home care workers with better pay, the upgrading of this occupation has also improved the quality of care that clients receive, since higher wages make for lower turnover. The improved working and living conditions that result benefit caregivers and those they serve alike. The author\u27s empirical analysis has obvious ramifications for low-wage employment generally, particularly in the burgeoning health care and personal services sector

Women in Sport Leadership: Fifty Years Since Title IX
No full textWomen in athletic administration in secondary public schools in Texas remain a significant minority to their male counterparts despite nearly fifty years since the passage of Title IX. This qualitative research study used narrative inquiry to investigate the factors leading to success among female athletic administrators in secondary education Creswell’s (2013) method for coding information and identifying themes. The study results are organized by the four research questions. The findings include the importance and value of professional organizations for the personal development and networking opportunities for women. Work-life balance was noted among all the participants and the executive directors of the professional organizations as the largest factor for women leaving the industry. Desirable feminine traits, experience and connections, and influential male mentors and advocates were cited by the research participants as key factors to their personal advancement. Recommendations for practical application include partnerships between professional organizations and school districts to review key concerns as they relate to the recruit and advancement of women in athletic administration. This study provides suggestions for advancing women in athletic administration in Texas school districts including: removal of barriers, opportunity for training, district environment of readiness, professional organization support, and prioritization of work-life balance and family needs
Dollars and Nonsense: Women at Work
No full textDollars and Nonsense: Women at Work is a collection of creative nonfiction essays based on the personal experiences of Candace U. Grissom and the women in her family. Intended to be both truthful and humorous, the four essays each explore the challenges of a different occupation in which the author has been engaged. The first essay, “On Top of a Goldmine, But Still on the Ground,” describes lessons that the writer learned while working in her family’s jewelry store in a small Alabama town. Next, in “The Reluctant Advocate,” the author chronicles her unfulfilling legal career, including struggles with an overbearing senior partner at a law firm. In the third essay, “The Room Where Songs Go To Die,” the writer gives readers an insider’s look into the business side of Nashville’s Music Row. Last, in “Cruise of the Rolling Adjunct,” the author describes how her six years of teaching as a part-time adjunct instructor almost ruined her dream of becoming a college English professor. Culminating in an ending that is hopeful without being sentimental, Dollars and Nonsense shows how being a young working woman can be a difficult, yet rewarding, experience
