You may already be using David's weekly diary of all the Classical radio and TV programmes available in the UK - if not, you'll find the link on the right of every page of the ARLT site. For some time David ran an excellent website for his Classics department. He is now moving to another school and is generously adapting his departmental site to be a sample site which other Classics teachers can use for ideas and inspiration in making their own sites.

The index page to David's site is here.

I haven't checked with David recently, but I'm sure that the site is still 'work in progress', as all lively websites are. It is still well worth a visit now. I have visited many school websites and found the Classics department pages. They vary from the inspiring to the ones where ... well, I guess the teacher, faced with the chance of a web presence, threw up his or her hands in despair! A paragraph on why studying Classics is such a brilliant idea, a photo of the school trip to Pompeii, and that's it.

If you are the one who threw up your hands in despair, visit David's offering and take courage and inspiration!

Many American Classics teachers actually set homework assignments on their websites, with links to resources on-line. Some ask for the work to be e-mailed to them. Let the imagination run free. There are so many possibilities.
