"Ha ha, yes, that's me - I feel so lucky to be living in the "Age of the Internet" - my school is adamantly opposed to letting me teach Latin online, but I can keep up my Latin interests and share what I'm reading with others,…"

"Great - I'm in and I shot off the email.   As an aside - I have been using some of your fable/Latin resources all year, and just now see that it is YOU who has been making those available.  How wonderful!  You are a beacon of…"

"Yes, Gabe, let's stay in touch! I mostly keep my Ning private and for the public side focus on websites - my students use GoogleSites to publish their work online where it is very share-able! They seem so much more motivated to work on their…"

"I wish I were teaching Latin, because this is just the kind of project I would love to participate in. We use a Ning for my classes right now and it is a fabulous tool - I teach English comp. courses in mythology and folklore, etc. :-)"

"Gabe, are you on the LatinTeach list? This Ning does not get a lot of traffic (which is a shame, since it is a much better way of sharing than the old list serve, which does not allow images, attachments, media, searches, zippo) - anyway, you will…"

Looking for Latin teachers who want to do a Latin manuscript activity with my class on NING: could be suited to all abilities

Hello everyone! My name is Gabe Baker and it is my first year as a Latin teacher. At Oberlin College, one of my professors told me about his involvement in the beginning of the scripting of ancient Greek for computers, and since then I've been fascinated by the intersection between contemporary technology and ancient texts and languages.  It is no surprise to me that as a teacher I am enthusiastic about embracing technology as a means of enhancing the educational experience of my seventh…

Yes, Gabe, let's stay in touch! I mostly keep my Ning private and for the public side focus on websites - my students use GoogleSites to publish their work online where it is very share-able! They seem so much more motivated to work on their writing when publishing it online as opposed to just writing it for a paper that they know will end up sooner or later (sooner rather than later!) in the trash can... Here are the projects in Myth-Folklore this semester; they choose and topic and retell stories in their own way.

Ha ha, yes, that's me - I feel so lucky to be living in the "Age of the Internet" - my school is adamantly opposed to letting me teach Latin online, but I can keep up my Latin interests and share what I'm reading with others, even if I don't have an official Latin class. That's so much more fun than just reading on my own and taking notes in spiral notebooks as I did before the Internet changed the world! :-)
