I made this slide presentation because Latin really is making a comeback and doing surprisingly well in the technological world and age. It is amazing how something so “old” can renew itself so easily.Says something about knowledge. There must be a reason for it. I enjoyed putting the slide presentation together because it made me remember my Latin and I realised how well it had stayed in my memory banks. There are lots of good reasons why Latin should still be a part of an education even for lifelong learners. The technology connections are strong and so now it is easy to refresh the original courses you did or discover new learning material. Cornell College has put together a very comprehensive list of online Latin resources. One of the amusing ones for me was the Computer Romanus which uses Roman numerals instead of Arabic ones on your calculator. Barbara F. McManus has also put together an impressive list of online resources and practical classroom software for Latin. Her site was created in 2002 so there is a link or two which doesn’t work . Nevertheless there are some really good materials there. Sona si Latine loqueris.
