Classics may appear to be the last discipline one would expect to integrate technology with pedagogy. In fact, it is keeping up with (and perhaps surpassing) its modern language peers in integrating the use of the Internet, specifically Web 2.0 re...
There are also ways to get the cached videos out similarly with other OSes, but it's easiest on linux since the cache is just the /tmp directory instead of some random, encrypted directory. I've been using this for personal use for some time (I ca...
Thanks Kevin. I don't plan on distributing the videos, only conserving them -- most videos are posted by their creators on YouTube but without any identification whatsoever either in the explanatory text or in the form of credits, so chasing copyr...
I know that if you're running linux, youtube videos show up in /tmp as a file with the name "Flash" followed by a few random characters. Once the video loads completely, just rename the video or move it elsewhere and you have the video. It's in FL...
One of our eClassics members noticed that the Fourth Declension Opera student video is no longer available as its creator took the video off of YouTube which broke the link here. If you know of a reliable tool that can allow one to rip a YouTube v...

- Role in the Classics Classroom (real or virtual):
- all of the above
- About Me:
- I'm the Director of eLearning for Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers (www.bolchazy.com), an academic press specializing in Greek and Latin textbooks. When outside, I'm usually accompanied by a soccer ball or a three-year-old girl or sometimes both. I have an MA in art history and archaeology (specializing in Greek plastic vases) from the University of Missouri - Columbia, and a BA in archaeology from the University of Evansville as a member of the first graduating class from this remarkable department.
Prior to working at BCP, I spent nine years at Willoughby Associates, a museum database management company where I trained over 1,000 museum professionals at over 100 institutions worldwide on how to use our software. I also created eBooks of our documentation, produced tech tips and tutorials, and enjoyed getting even the most technophobic museum person interested in using the database to manage both the content and context of their collections.
Find me on World of Warcraft on the Feathermoon realm as Philabovis, the affable level 70 Tauren hunter and leader of the Carpe Praedam (Latin-language) guild. I am also in Second Life as MagisterP Holmer, and operate a market stall and Latin-language villa in the Roma sim there.

- Best/worst computer-related classroom happening:
- I once taught folks how to use a museum database management system at Cornell University during rains that were so bad the ceiling leaked, separating me from the class with a thin wall of water for an entire day.

American Classical League Pre-Institute Workshop on free e-utilities for Latin teachers
I presented a pre-Institute workshop at ACL last week on how to download, install, and use Skype, Audacity, WeGame, Second Life, and World of Warcraft (machinima projects and live interaction in Latin). I thought that others might benefit from the 60-page, illustrated handout, so I have attached it to this post in PDF format.

Girgis said… - Salve Andrew
Thanks for the warm greeting
In fact I wish to find a good reference concerning how to put the greek TONOS while spelling nouns, I'm not asking about where to move it but about its position in the nominative case of each word
about technology used in Egyptian schools I think that my country is retarded we've lately started learning in schools using computers
note : I'm a medical student at the fifth grade

Exploring technology will be a stretch for us over here as we are still connected via dial-up....
