Shakespeare is going digital.
Notre Dame professor Elliott Visconsi has co-created a new app for the iPad called The Tempest that he says helps accelerate student learning by allowing them to develop deeper comprehension in less time than solitary reading. At the heart of the app is a social network that encourages students to communicate their interpretations and collaborate with others.
A superb site with animated videos of Shakespeare plays. Watch short explanations about some of the most famous plays and watch videos exploring the characters. The text that goes with the videos is useful and child-friendly.
