When he’s not teaching Latin, Greg Davis is an agile outfielder at a AZMSBL, an Arizona league. He has a way of making students forget they are learning a language no one speaks.

In this podcast I pick his brains on why Latin still survives as a subject in schools, and its connection with classical academies — something that goes back nearly five hundred years.

There are three cameras in my class, thirty-four computers, two microphones, tripods, cameras, sanitizers and a Wifi router among others. That doesn't account for the three COWS (school jargon for 'Computers on Wheels') loaded with Chromebooks.

This is my 10th year of teaching, and this year I began teaching a new High School elective on Writing and Publishing. This is what made me return to podcasting - something I began in 2008-- having hit the pause button in 2012.

My 'co-hosts' will be my colleagues. I also feature student work here on podcasts they make as we learn the ins and outs of creating content in an increasingly digitized world. I hope all of this provides a great insight into teaching and learning at Benjamin Franklin High School.
