Vicipaedia – Wikipedia in Latin!

April 22, 2009 · Filed Under Announcements, Latin Activities, Technology · Comment 

I am a little slow, but I recently just discovered an excellent resource that could be used to supplement Latin courses – Vicipaedia! It is Wikipedia completely written in Latin. So, not only can you read it, but your students can also create and edit entries as well.

Check it out:

Vicipaedia

Also, we have a wiki here at Romae.org, but this one is written in English. This, however, gives me an idea to create a wiki for practicing Latin as well. Stay tuned!

Coming Soon: Social Networking for Latin Teachers and Students

February 14, 2009 · Filed Under Announcements · Comment 

In order to make (and keep!) Romae.org on the cutting edge, and help it keep up with the needs of a growing community of Latin speakers/learners which is gradually getting more and more tech savy, we will be adding a social networking platform to the site.

What this means is we will be able to form communication with Latin teachers and students the world over so that we can create a centralized area for everyone to discuss topics of interest and get in touch with one another. For teachers, this could be a great way to exchange ideas for lesson plans or even to help find jobs or qualified candidates. For students, it is a way to continue their learning outside of the classroom as they could get more help from the community itself in order to improve their performance in the classroom as well as when they are reading their texts.

The launch for this new addition to the site will be very soon. Also, remember to check back here for our re-launch of our virtual classroom/academy portion of the site as well.
