Easy Readers, Latin Podcasts, Teaching History: Links 30 June

  • Quomodo Dicitur is a new, weekly podcast delivered in Latin.  Also available on iTunes.
  • Lots of new, easy Latin readers are being published this year (Brandon Brown canem vult, Cloelia – Puella Romana, Pluto – Fabula Amoris, and more).  Martina Bex has some suggestions on how you can use them in class.
  • David Moss from the Harvard Business School is making waves in his approach to teaching history.
