Use of technology to understand Shakespeare

I find it difficult at times to understand the language of Shakespeare.  I know this is a shocking confession considering how much I love Shakespeare's work.  So, I usually watch a production of the play I am reading.  To be able to see the gestures and facial expression make the words come alive for me.  For this reason, I decided to allow the student to watch a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.  I found an app on the iPod that is pg rated.  It does have the words "ass" and "hell," but does not give in to the sexual suggestions.  Plus, it is in cartoon form.  They seem mesmerized by the "B" rated program.  I will do all I can to allow them to experience many things.
