Well this is right up my street. Just got Inkling as I'm fascinated by how the iPad can be integrated into education. I'm thankfully past my student years now but my wife is planning to get into primary teaching and she would be really interested in this. As for another title to add, I suppose Macbeth is the obvious choice with such a good, well known story, but Othello and Merchant of Venice are pretty accessible too. Or Midsummer Nights Dream! Plenty to choose from there!
This is a very exiting way to look into the classics. The software has some clever functions to cahnge between old English phrases and recent ones. I only wish there would be some more interactive visual content.
I would say that Merchant of Venice is a great comedy and has (and is bound) to be redone in modern movie-genre (Leo to join?).
Would love to share this with my high school daughter, who’s reading Shakespeare in class this year. Thanks for the chance win a copy.
Romeo & Juliet is always my favorite Shakespeare's play – a tragedy about two young "star-cross'd lovers.
I'd like to see King Lear in a format like this.
I would like to see Macbeth. The shakespeare in bits apps are great for education.
A great contest for a great app! Good to see Shakespeare updated with technology…
Love to win this one as Shakespeare is all roman to me.
Downloaded the Lite version after reading your initial post and found it to be very impressive. Shakespeare is so much more easily digested when heard and performed, rather than read. My suggestion for another play would be Much Ado About Nothing – a perfect light play to read on warm August nights.
Totally true! I found it more impressive in this format than reading… I wonder if anyone else will agree with us…
This could change how school read or use the school books…
The app looks very interesting for a classroom setting. I'd like to see Julius Caesar like this.
Hamlet or Othello would be great additions.
Oh yes… I agree with Philip….
I think Hamlet will be a great addition to the ipad apps.
This app will be great! It will help the kids in my computer class to start reading more and learn more about the play.
I would love to see Antony and Cleopatra as another app for the iPad!
