Free site shares Shakespeare lessons with teachers

Free site shares Shakespeare lessons with teachers
CBC News - February 3, 2011

About 10 years ago, actor Michael Kelly came up with an idea for a
cool Shakespearean teaching tool. What if he could share online videos
of actors and drama teachers performing the Bard's works as a way to
inspire budding thespians?

Technologically, the concept was a little ahead of its time but has
finally been realized with Thursday's launch of the Shakespeare in
Action Virtual Lab.

The website, which is free for students and teachers, includes lesson
plans, videos of tutorials and rehearsal techniques, and a karaoke
feature so students have a virtual partner to practice lines from
Hamlet, Macbeth or Romeo and Juliet.
