Our students get to “visit” ancient Arles when Sabina goes to Arelate in ch. 13 of our book!

I really enjoyed this YouTube video about grades and motivation. It is based on lots of research, and is full of great food for thought. What do you think about it?

Struggling to come up with a way to summarise my day in Pompeii without dry cliches about time-capsules, jaw dropping, and hyperbolic superlatives (it was all of these).

So instead a thread grouping together some of the best parts which stood out (and wowza, what a place) 🧵

I enjoyed getting to meet the team at @HandsUpEduc at #ACLClassics2022 this past weekend!

wired: innovative spelling variant, potentially of great interest and significance for future palaeographers and linguists

I’m really glad I got to go to the @ACLClassics Institute this year! I met so many great teachers and got to attend some amazing sessions and workshops.

We used the Suburani books this past year at Mountain Brook, and we’ve really enjoyed it. The stories are engaging for students, and the digital supports are robust and well done.

Couldn't get a great angle, but for #MosaicMonday, a mosaic from the visit to the western archaeological area in #Kos yesterday, depicting the Judgement of Paris surrounded by panels of Apollo and the Muses.

From the bath house at @NTChedworth roman villa this mosaic sits on on a hypocaust. The haphazard shapes of the lozenges and the red surround make a uniquely beautiful floor.
