It describes the advantages of integrating technology as a way both to increase engagement and to improve&nbsp;learning. The goal is to motivate&nbsp;students to spend more time reading and writing Latin by means of creative digital projects and auto-correcting, game-like&nbsp;activities. Fuller discussion is included on extra slides in between the actual presentation slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(I found quite a few shocking typos in revising this for the blog, but please let me know if you notice others).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ACL2015_Tech-for-Good_Livingston_2015-11-20.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of ACL2015_Tech-for-Good_Livingston_2015-11-20.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-455d1bf0-6a92-4c08-b861-09b06ad02600\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ACL2015_Tech-for-Good_Livingston_2015-11-20.pdf\">ACL2015_Tech-for-Good_Livingston_2015-11-20<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/ACL2015_Tech-for-Good_Livingston_2015-11-20.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-455d1bf0-6a92-4c08-b861-09b06ad02600\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2241\" height=\"1680\" data-attachment-id=\"571\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/2015\/11\/using-technology-for-good-in-the-latin-classroom\/halftone_tiger\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?fit=2241%2C1680&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2241,1680\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Halftone_Tiger\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Comic panel made in Halftone2 iOS app&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=2241%2C1680\" alt=\"Roman boy with tiger says &quot;Salve, mater&quot; while Roman woman screams.\" class=\"wp-image-571\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?w=2241&amp;ssl=1 2241w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=100%2C75&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=450%2C337&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?resize=900%2C675&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.forummagistrorum.com\/wpb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Halftone_Tiger.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comic panel made in Halftone2 iOS app<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus: a little montage of original photo&nbsp;to finished comic panel; you will see that&nbsp;the projects proposed in the presentation do <strong>not<\/strong> need to be this elaborate (most are just against the orange backdrop), but if your students want to geek out, why not?. First panel&nbsp;is the original photo (my usual orange plastic cutting&nbsp;board would&nbsp;have blended in&nbsp;with the tiger, so I stuck a sheet of white paper behind the figures); second panel shows two images (wall and floor) combined to form a new background; third panel has speech bubble and other text added.
