Hometown/Institution:
Wauconda, IL, Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Inc.
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.

Report on the AP Latin Literature meeting, CAMWS, April 17, 2008

Report of AP Latin from CAMWS Thursday, April 17, 2008, 8-10 PM One of the two evening sessions on April 17 at CAMWS focused on AP Latin, specifically the results of the two 2007 exams, how the exams were created, and how they were graded. The three panelists included Mary Pendergraft, Dawn La Fon, and Wells Hansen. At the start of the session, Pendergraft stated that there would be plenty of time at the end for questions about AP Latin Literature, which turned out to be a solid hour from nine… Continue

Open Letter from Ronnie Ancona re: AP Latin Literature Cancellation

The following letter was written by Ronnie Ancona in response to an urgent e-mail from Judy Hallett to the APA Board and some others (like Ronnie) involved in AP. Now posted on Latinteach and Classics list: Dear colleagues, Thanks to Judy for calling this matter to your attention. I was truly stunned by this announcement. There seem to be three issues involved, (1) the announced change itself (2) the lack of professional consultation and (3) the lack of lead time for teachers, schools, and oth… Continue

Carpe Praedam on World of Warcraft!

I started a new guild in World of Warcraft two days ago. The guild is called Carpe Praedam (seize the booty/loot/lewt/1007) and is intended to be Latin-only. Players in the guild are encouraged to speak/chat in Latin while playing and campaigning together. This is great practice for conversational Latin, learning Latin military terms, and out-geeking the geeks in-game. At this writing, we have three players on the charter (we need ten to become official).… Continue

I just tried to send an email about the Mythology Project posted on the main page, but the message was returned.

I'm a Latin teacher and a one-time aspiring comic book artist, so I'd like to learn more about the project.

My best wishes for your activity, Andrew, and congratulations as well. I wish I could be as young as you are, Andrew, in order I could carry out as many projects as I do hope. Anyway I'll try to do my best helping all them who are fond of the latin world, until my brain will be in good shape.

Yes, I thought the world was ready for Owl Macros! Also, I've yet to meet a cat that had any interest in speaking Latin, even pidgin Latin. ;)
