Recently I came across a creative technique called " Text Reduction Strategy" ( see the article here by Andrea Heick at TeachThought).

The web provides limitless opportunities for learning, creating, sharing, and exploring the depths of human knowledge. But it is also an unsafe arena where one needs to be equipped with the needed tools and know-how to better stay safe and browse the net securely.

The K-12 sector is investing heavily in technology as a means of providing students with a more customized educational experience.
