Online game engages students in study of Latin
Latin teacher Kevin Ballestrini uses an online virtual-reality game to teach the dead language to his students at Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut. Students play the role of Romans in ancient Pompeii or Rome and work in teams to direct their characters -- in Latin -- to solve mysteries that help them win the game. Students say they look forward to playing the game, which is now being used in 30 classrooms across the country. "I took Spanish for four years and I don't think I've learned as much as I have in that class ... in just two months," said student Caroline Scheck.
