Great book for promoting critical thinking
"A Digital Novel
Set in a technology-augmented near-future, Inanimate Alice tells the story of a young girl who grows up to become a videogame designer at the biggest games company in the world. Beginning in China when Alice is eight years old, and told over ten increasingly complex episodes, the series follows the journey of Alice and her closest 'friend' Brad around the world and towards their final destiny."
This may come in handy. This is an update to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy which attempts to account for the new behaviours and actions emerging as technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous.

Word cloud creator. Similar to wordle but better with more choice of templates.
"Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends."
