If Shakespeare Could Tweet: ibook
|
This is not an APP. This is an ibook. Most high school students aren't necessarily excited to read Shakespeare. By integrating iOS into their lessons, teachers can transform the experience of learning Romeo & Juliet and other other plays. Students can go from laboriously reading Shakespeare to excitedly interacting with Shakespeare with just an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.
|
This iBook offers great student examples and lesson ideas for integrating Shakespeare with technology. It references ways to integrate apps like: Twitter, iMovie, iAnnotate, and even Puppet Pals and ComicLife!
