This isn't a specific answer to your question, however <a href="http://www.edutopia.org/">http://www.edutopia.org/</a> is pretty sweet for providing ideas and best practices. These more general ideas can be re-applied in the context of english, business, or something else which resonates with your students.

Perhaps this begs the question of how much technology access your students have.<br />
