Great start, Rachel! I would love to see a list of these options, with the lilnks to access them as well as comprehensive directions how to use them. Do you have any quantifiable results to show the value of these tech tools?

These options do sound like it will be more comprehensive and engaging.  Please update us to give more info on exactly what you will do with all these tools for the students (do they have to do all of them, some of them, etc?).  Keep us posted.
