ipl2 is the result of a merger of the Internet Public Library (IPL) and the Librarians' Internet Index (LII) It contains trustworthy links to online reference materials for a variety of ages and subjects... great place to send your kids to look for information! (Usually better than using Google or Wikipedia)

This site, created by Scholastic, is jammed with activities for students and teachers. I personally like the authors and illustrators page, on which students can view videos about authors, and participate in writing workshops where authors give students tips on how to improve their writing in a specific genre.
