Bolchazy-Carducci has just announced the program for their second annual series of online web-based seminars for Latin teachers. More than just an online lecture, attendees can dialogue with each other and the speakers live, view presentations, and explore teaching materials used by the speakers themselves. And you don't have to buy plane tickets, arrange for your mail to be held, put your pets in a kennel, fly across the country, or even leave the comfort of your own home!
This summer's line-up includes courses designed and presented by experienced Latin teachers covering a diverse range of topics: Vergil, Catullus, Cicero, etymology, Roman culture, and Latin 2.0. There will even be a Virtual Conventiculum featuring two sessions from expert Latinists Terence Tunberg and Milena Minkova!
These courses are suitable for the newly-minted Latin teacher as well as the experienced veteran seeking professional development. (You may be eligible for credit hours towards recertification; be sure to check with your school, district, or state to confirm.)
