Khan Academy is like your very own digital tutor. This site has a ton of educational videos and interactive exercises (particularly in math) that cover skills that range through grades k-12.

I thought this site was really cool. It helps promote curiosity and exploration for children of all ages. The site includes a wonder of the day…Today's wonder is "Is there a planet between Mars and Jupiter?"…and the answer is yes! There is a dwarf planet called Ceres between the two planets. You also have the option to explore other wonders on this site or to post something that you are wondering.

Educreations is a website on which teachers can create online video lessons and tutorials using their own voice. This tool is utilized a great deal at our school to explain math concepts.

Free printable worksheets and puzzles for parents and teachers covering a number of topics and age-ranges.

AWESOME - practice problems with immediate feedback, optional hint and links to video tutorials

This is an excellent site providing interactive text in a variety of subjects. I only checked out social studies, but there are various sections on math and science (some even in Spanish). Lessons are interactive and contain relevant images and great multimedia presentations. I highly recommend it. Another cool thing about this site is that a teacher can set up an account and provide a custom HippoCampus page for his/her students. This can be helpful for all students, regardless of their abilities.
