In this class, we will explore how ancient people communicated. How important is it for humans to communicate or even gossip? Did ancient cultures have social media? If so, what did it look like? What were the messages that they communicated? When does art become social media? Each week, we will look at different cultures, from Greece to Rome, Egypt and Europe. We will start with a short introduction on the culture and then examine artefacts such as tablets, wall paintings and printed materials in greater detail. Some of the questions that we will ask will be: Who is the author or artist? What is the message and its meaning? Who is the target audience? In some cases, are there reactions to the message? I teach in an open lecture style, where I go through engaging visuals, stories, ancient texts, and information. I also include the latest archaeological information and theories when possible. Students are asked open-ended questions throughout the lesson and are encouraged to ask questions of me at any time. The informal tone of the class invites the learners to participate as they feel comfortable. The learners will have a chance to brainstorm, individually and as a group, on the meanings and implications of Ancient Social Media! I use PowerPoint as a presentation tool. Topic 1: Egypt, Greece, and Rome Topic 2: Europe, from prehistory to the Renaissance Topic 3: Britain, from prehistory to the Renaissance

I will present the class material through the use of visuals, both from my own private collection and from archaeological excavations and museum collections. The students will look at the archaeological material and learn how to interpret it, and discover that evidence can lead to different opinions. I strongly believe that all evidence must be investigated and viewed equally, and I do reinforce this important concept every week.
As an archaeologist, I base my classes on scholarly texts, scientific secondary sources such as textbooks, scholarly journals (Archaeology Magazine, National Geographic, Penn University publications, etc.), and archaeological reports, while keeping it age appropriate. I also use primary sources, for example Homer, English translations of Egyptian hieroglyphs, Latin texts, etc. Other visuals than my own are drawn from sites such as Open Licensed Images, Ancient World Image Bank, World History Encyclopedia, the New York Public Library Digital Collection, Unsplash and Public Domain Pictures. All sites allow for free use of images, with credits.
Learners do not need to access any sites during class.

I am a trained archaeologist, and I excavated at sites such as Mytilene and Kommos in Greece for many field seasons. I have travelled extensively through Europe, and I have taught Greek and Roman art, archaeology and mythology at Concordia University, Montréal. I held a position at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, where I created and led tours for children on the topics of Greek, Roman and Egyptian archaeology, the Medieval period, dinosaurs and natural history. More recently, I have taught labs on water science and solar energy to Kindergarten and Grade 1 students through Scientists in School. Since July 2021, I have had the pleasure of teaching many archaeology and ancient civilizations classes on Outschool. Reseñas
