I could easily have students do one of these new “trends” as a project:
- The Digital Textbook
- Music Appumentaries
- Medical Exam Apps
- Movie Tie-Ins
- Interactive Retail Catalogs
Which one would you want to do?
Digital Publishing 
None of these seem really “new” or “cutting edge” to me….but I’m stil willing to try it.
