  I assume everyone's seen this site. If you haven't it summarizes texts and information. But it's one of my least favorite sites, as an English guy. It just cheats kids out of thinking for themselves. It's not 21st century learning-students don't learn to think or read critically, they just regurgitate the information they read here, which does more harm than good.

  This site is a favorite of my students, but not one of mine. I have reservations about this site because it teaches our kids that they do not have to pick up a book and read it. It encourages them in a sense to be lazy.

This was becoming popular when I was in high school. Instead of reading a book - just learn about it online. Just another website that makes it easier for students not to learn. (4 of 5 least favorite websites).

I dislike this website because students feel as though they can use this instead of reading the book that is required of them. A lot of times, it even gives false or inaccurate information about the book being searched or read. It only provides students with overviews and chapter summaries and takes away from the details that they could be reading in the actual book.

  This website is awesome. I haven't looked through many other disciplines, but for the English section there's a ton of information. You can take tests on certain literary periods or look through their archives. It's fantastic!

Lots of fun animation. I stayed very entertained on this Web site. I love that the Dr. Seuse characters are tied in. What great books! The sounds make it fun too... though... I do wonder how a student who's deaf or blind might interact with this site.

I find it fascinating that many of your peers have swip/swapped the sites that you've chosen (i.e. some have said that ones you listed are good as bad). Just interesting!
