McManus _______________________________ American Classical League Panel, APA Annual Meeting in San Diego, January 3-6, 2001 Would Orbilius have been able to spare the rod if he had had a computer? Would Horace have learned as well . . . or better? As the real millennium begins, the ACL turns the spotlight on the issue of teaching ancient classics with contemporary technology. We invite submissions for 20-minute presentations that will not only demonstrate how technology is being/can be used to teach Latin, Greek, or classical civilization and culture, but also reflect on why we should (or should not) make this a priority in our pedagogy. Is the computer simply another handy tool like the overhead and slide projector, or will welcoming it into the classroom lead to fundamental changes in the way classics is taught and learned? We are particularly interested in presentations that include some assessment of results: is there any concrete evidence that this use of technology improves (or does not improve) student learning and/or motivation? This will not be a traditional panel, and therefore we do not expect traditional abstracts. Send a proposal that describes in some detail the focus of your presentation and what it will contribute to our understanding of the issues raised above. Please include URLs if discussing internet technology. The panel will be organized and chaired by Barbara McManus but submissions will be judged anonymously. Proposals should not include your name but should be accompanied by a cover letter identifying yourself and providing contact information. Send three copies of the proposal by February 1, 2000, to Sheila K. Dickison, Honors Program, 140 Tigert Hall, University of Florida, PO Box 113260, Gainesville FL 32611-3260.
