An Online Latin Grammar
This website is intended to function as a complement to learning Latin. It includes explanations, examples & charts focused on elements of Latin Grammar. Users will also find embedded videos and links to Quizlets, Kahoots, & worksheets. The website is great for both remediation and advancement.
Criticisms (constructive), ideas, and suggestions are welcome!
A Searchable Database for Educators
With too many museum photos & frustration with current options (not to mention copyright concerns), I partnered with a computer science student in the summer of 2020 to develop this website &database. This site will serve as a repository of ancient art for teachers & students. It is searchable by period, geography, & more, but its primary organization is thematic to highlight connections across eras & between cultures. The database will be open to all teachers, students, & amateur adventurers to add their own photos. It is a continuing work in progress. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing.
Weekly Newsletter on All Things Ancient
This newsletter began in the isolation of the pandemic as a way to engage with my students and as a means to stay informed on the news, topics, and conversations happening in the studies of Ancient Mediterranean Cultures. As a former archaeologist, I can keep connected to archaeological discoveries. As an educator invested in the value of learning about these cultures & dedicated to the expansion of Classics' curriculum & audience, this newsletter has become a platform to share such ideas and resources with K-12 teachers, professors, friends and students across the US. We are on a brief hiatus, but will be back online in late July. Looking for volunteers and contributing voices!
Greek Olympians to Roman Gladiators
As a professor, I taught courses on ancient athletics and I recognized the lack of informative & accessible sites on ancient athletics. Many sites that currently exist on ancient athletics are full of inaccuracies. There are some accurate websites that are accessible, but they offer no references and no opportunities for students to verify such information. Additionally, informative sites with references and ancient sources are difficult to navigate, & primarily focus on Greek athletics (not addressing Roman spectacle). I created this website as a resource for instructors and students as a starting place in their exploration of athletics and spectacle in the ancient world.
I completed my M.Ed., specializing in Educational Technology, at the University of Arkansas in 2017. I had enrolled in the program in order to broaden my knowledge of integrating technology into the classroom and my own pedagogies. The program also provided a strong foundation on educational theory, as well as current approaches to learning, design, and accessibility.
