Teaching Pompeii

I'm going to be teaching a course on Pompeii and the Cities of Vesuvius at Swansea University next semester. I'd like to know if anyone else will be too (or on anything related). I'm wondering if it might be possible to set up, for example, a Google Chat between my students and students at other institutions, or develop some other collaborative pedagogical exercises.

Please email me if you'd be interested in doing something like this.

Jo,

I'm set to teach Pompeii again in the fall of 2012, but will be offering two related courses this Spring: Roman Archaeology and Roman Material World. The second seems well suited to a collaboration as you've described. I'm interested and it might be even more interesting if there are several schools involved... teams students made up of 4 different schools. Just brainstorming and typing.

And three makes a party - count me in! I'm teaching Pompeii next semester at the undergrad level. We'll do well to remember that University administrations LOVE this kind of thing...

We might be four...
Also teaching Pompeii next term to undergraduate students, mainly in their first year of University.
Despite the time difference, it would be nice to try, but I am wondering whether my students might be able to discuss in English...
Let's think about it...

Might be punching a little above my weight here but I am teaching the Australian HSC course on the Cities of Vesuvius presently for next years HSC. Although my students are only high school seniors it might be a valuable opportunity for some of them to participate in such an 'adventure'. Two of them are working with me next season in Pompeii with the Food and Drink Project.
