Cindy Fallsen connecting ancient with modern

Ivan Petryshyn NEMUS MUNDI, FABULA POETICA

nemus mundi tacet. non audet, non vedet, non volet. memoria nemi imbecila est. non veneratur est memoria nemi mundi, non abitat ibi, sed tibi salutum porgo, corrogo perlas verbi scripsi super follia nemi mundi: tacet et cantat silva sapientiam, mandat inteligentiam hominis probis, urbs et orbis proficiant, atque etiam... ego recino.

evan millner Latin Vocabulary Building

Latin Vocabulary Building by Evan Millner Over 80 years ago, Walter Ripman, in his 'Handbook of the Latin Language', organized Latin vocabulary into domains and subdomains. The noted New Testament scholar I. Howard Marshall, himself a student of Latin, claims that Ripman's reference was "an ex… Continue

Roger Travis Seeking students for an online game-method Latin 1 pilot

I'm doing some very early work on developing an online Latin 1 that uses the game-method I'm pioneering in Operation KTHMA, the role-playing Greek historians course. The central idea will be to use a role-playing game-story, with its established (and addictive) model of progression, as a metaphor for inherently engaging and interactive progress in the Latin skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening. By… Continue

evan millner Your students know more than you think....

Recent research has shown it can be demonstrated that the brain responds to newly learned information, even when it cannot be consciously recalled in a deliberative effort. I suspect that a mechanism related to this is operating with natural language learning: not all knowledge is testable, and the brain's sub-cognitive memory is probably kicking in during language processing.....meaning the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.... Here is the research: Scientists may have discovered a w… Continue

Pedro Jezler Conimbriga (Coimbra, Portugal)

I've just posted some pictures I made in a recent trip to Portugal (the "mother-country", as were), at the site of an ancient and gorgeous Roman city called Conimbriga. The place is quite big, and one of the better preserved Roman sites in the world (or so it says in the brochure). It's got beautiful mosaic floors, a bunch of villae with intact foundations, the remains of three public baths (and a fourth, private one, in the house of distinguished patrician Cantaber), a forum and a paleo-christ… Continue

Roger Travis Operation KTHMA (role-playing course): Day 1, as it actually went down

Apologies to anyone offended by cross-posting, but since I posted about this project earlier I want to let eClassics-folk know that the course began yesterday, and that I've managed a few updates thus far. This morning, I posted a few teasing details about our first session of playing Herodotus and Thucydides as a game; other information about the course/game can also be found on… Continue
