Reviews
This must surely now become the seminal text now for all those engaged in the teaching of classics, whether the languages or civilisation. It is also extremely relevant to those who are interested in the development and application of technology in schools and colleges, regardless of subject specialism. * Classics for All *
[This book] allows us, in many ways, to better understand the need to adapt the teaching of Classics to the digital and collective age, and provides teachers with valuable advice. educational, theoretical and practical, to arouse a renewed interest in ancient worlds among students. * Anabases (trans. by Bloomsbury Academic) *
The main contribution of the volume is its rootedness in practice; instead of manifestos, theory, and prophetic mantras, individual chapters represent reports from the trenches, as it were: real-life experiments with a range of technologies with real students in physical and virtual classrooms ... This is an inspiring and useful book and even the most obstinate Hotmail user will find it invigorating. * Greece & Rome *
What shines through every chapter of this volume, and the text as a whole, is the persistent relevance of principles underpinning digital Classics pedagogies ... and are more potent now for having been put to the ultimate test. * The Classical Review *
