Teachers' Lounge

Latin for the New Millennium is the only textbook with a dedicated social network, a gathering of classroom Latin teachers using the series. Classroom teachers can use this student-free, password-secured area to download free question banks, reproducible worksheets and maps, and PDF eBooks. They can exchange teaching materials, showcase class projects, and discuss teaching out of the textbook.

Pre-Built Question Banks

Over 2,000 pre-built test questions (1,000 per LNM level) are available for FREE in the Teachers' Lounge. Save time by uploading these questions directly into Quia.com or use the Microsoft Word™-formatted questions to expedite the creation of quizzes and exams. Questions types include multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, true-false, and short answer/translation. Edit these questions or augment with questions of your own.

eLearning with LNM

Latin for the New Millennium offers several one-of-a-kind practical, fun electronic resources in support of the student textbooks, workbooks, teacher's manuals, and other printed materials. It is currently the only introductory Latin program of study with both feet firmly planted in Web 2.0 technologies like online gaming, virtual worlds, and social networks. Watch this 3-minute video to learn about all of the digital support available to LNM teachers and students.

iPodius

iPodius, Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers' downloads store, is now officially open for business. Like iTunes (but for Classics), teachers and students can download entire albums of Latin music and recitation. One can also select individual MP3 tracks with which to build an audio curriculum as a complement to assigned LNM readings. Dedicated LNM flashcards and eWorkbooks are also available.

Flashcards for iPods, Smart Phones, and Cell Phones

Repetitio est mater memoriae (repetition is the mother of memory): these 2,000+ vocabulary cards, arranged chapter-by-chapter, English-to-Latin and Latin-to-English, allow students an easy way to memorize Latin vocabulary words as they appear in each chapter of Latin for the New Millennium Levels 1 and 2. Students can use the cards to help them memorize the full lexical forms of the Latin vocabulary words. These cards make vocabulary review a snap!

Looking at Latin Online

Each of the 266 grammar-packed pages of Anna Andresian's Looking at Latin visual grammar primer has been converted into sets of between 10 and 50 questions designed to help students of all ages practice and review everything from first conjugation verbs to double datives and more. Question types include multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer. With nearly 6,000 self-correcting, illustrated questions, you can guarantee mastery of Latin grammar, point by point, principal part by principal part.

Roman Town Archaeology Game

Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers partnered with Dig-it! Games to provide students with a true-to-life archaeology simulator, Roman Town, that places them on excavation in a town destroyed by the eruption of Mt.Vesuvius. While Latin for the New Millennium provides readers with insight into art, artifacts, culture, and history, Roman Town adds an interactive archaeological element, placing Latin within the context of the people who originally spoke the language.
