Lisa Johnson and Yolanda Barker have published an eBook titled Hot Apps 4 HOTS: A Guide to Using Free Apps to Support Higher Order Thinking Skills. The book includes nine step-by-step activities that focus on each level of Bloom's taxonomy and includes loads of links to further resources.

- Notes
- Talking Tom Cat
- Talking Ben the Dog
- Popplet Lite

Along with the apps, the book is also a free download in the iBooks Store. Thanks Lisa and Yolanda for putting together this helpful resource!
