About
This channel began as an outlet for the Minecraft project I am working on which brought students to the classical word in the 3D environment afforded by Minecraft. However, my sights have shifted slightly to focus on the real goal of teaching Latin. I still use Minecraft for most videos, but it is more of a tool than an object of focus much the same way an artist might use oils one day and charcoal the next. Now, I am trying to introduce Latin to as many people as possible and teach something useful to those who subscribe. I believe that Latin should be taught like the language it is: meaning students should hear it, write it, speak it and read it. (https://www.facebook.com/DivusMagisterCraft)
