Folger Making Shakespeare Editions Text Available Free for Non-Commercial Use
"The most widely used electronic version of the plays—the Globe Edition (1864)—is over a century old, and I believe the Folger Editions will take its place as the electronic edition of record for Shakespeare's plays.“ — Michael Witmore

It is more important to get kids to like Shakespeare than it is to get them to understand every word.
Performing Shakespeare does not mean having students sit at their desks reading out loud, or having students stand in front of the room reading out loud, or the teacher acting out scenes for the class.
When students use Web 2.0 technology to learn Shakespeare, they are usually using performance and doing a close reading of the text.
Designing Globe Theaters out of sugar cubes and Popsicle sticks, making Elizabethan newspapers, designing costumes, doing a scavenger hunt on the Internet, or doing a report on Elizabethan sanitary conditions has nothing to do with a student’s appreciation of Shakespeare’s language.
