Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing is now available on a government website for students to download. The podcast allows students to hear the performance from the Globe Theatre in London, as well as the discussion about the characters and play's meaning from the director and actors.
The podcast will allow the "ipod generation" to download the words so they can listen to it at home, or even as a school-based project.

Wow!! This proves that banning iPods and MP3 players in schools would be a huge mistake. Look at the good things that can be done with them. Thanks for sharing this.
Great information for new content! This seems like a great idea, however, I am not sure if I agree with Darlene. In regards to banning ipods and mp3s, perhaps they will still be banned for students to bring into school, but the tools themselves will be available in the classroom, for teachers to use in their lesson.
I am still unsure about the whole banning issue but this is a great link and thanks for sharing!
