Awesome website with activties and reading for students who need picture support. For example, the science sites could be used to do research that parallels what the class is doing.
Recommended by Kelley Tenkley, this site features digital and some printable flashcards. The pictures are outstanding for representating the vocabulary and the online version includes pronunciation. Would be great for Word of the Day.
2100 videos and 100 self-paced lessons mainly about math topics that started as Sal Khan tutoring turoring his cousins and has now become a non-profit academy. Great TED talk on the main page talks about implications for changing education including flipping the lecture/homework paradigm.
