Oh definitely
We'll be creating a presentation using Impress with primary source
design and stock / free photography. I'll be citing sources for each
slide and I'll try and get a few video recordings of the project being
shown to students. I'll then try and edit them and upload to Youtube.

Are you planning to share the end result with the community perhaps
under a cc license so we can use and modify for use elsewhere,

Hi,
I don't think anyone has mentioned Mendeley yet. Extremely useful and
powerful referencing and bibliography software/website.
Depending on what flavour of students you are talking to, if any of them
are dealing with large datasets or any form of scripting (matlab/R/bash
etc) then I would recommend learning python. A big second for R as a
stats package as well!
A useful addition to highlight is the customisable search engines in
firefox. I have google scholar, wikipedia and pubmed added to my search
engines.
Regards,
Tim
