Inanimate Alice and other online digital texts

Hi all,

There are so many wonderful digital texts out there that will not only engage your students, much like the video games that they spend endless hours playing! But more than this, texts that present our students with multi-dimensional stories that probe their thinking, engage them in problem solving, predicting, call on inference skills and that inspire them to create online texts of their own.
Inanimate Alice is a mult-award winning online text that we will look at in my sessions.
There are four episodes (so far) and I know there are lots of keen teachers and students waiting for more.

There is also the Alice and Friends wikispace to take a look at that has samples of student work and a unit pla for using this excellent resource to get you started.
However, I am looking for more. Does anyone have any others that they can share. Please comment if you do :)
