Free website to use to cite various sources. Easy to follow steps to cite a variety of sources. I feel this would appeal to students because many students struggle with putting the correct punctuation marks and to cite sources correctly. The aesthetics is very general there are no creative graphics. I feel the website is up to date since 2010. I loved the fact I could just put in the ISBN number and the book information would pop up and I just click submit. This information can be used from 4th grade and up. The only negative is there is no contact support available.
This is a free website for teachers to keep track of online grades. Its free for teachers and you can create unique user names for your students. You can create online quizzes and flashcards.
A great differentiation resource, this wiki has all of the information contained in our book and more. With templates for many of the related strategies discussed and everything you need to know and how to do it. A free web resource this really is a great, easy to navigate wiki for all to use for free - but no support is available - but none needed. Aesthetically the wiki has a very nice design and i believe students in High School and above might take some interest in this site. Published two years ago the content is right up to date and of good quality.
It appears that sparknotes was originally designed to be used as a footnote - intended to summarize books required for reading.

It is organized intoseveral tabs - Spark notes guides (provides summaries and analysis - 500 guides for Literature and a number for History, Math, and Biology), No Fear Shakespear, SparkCollege (info on colleges including intro videos0, Test prep (for standardized tests), Flashcards, Miss Marm (writing help), Spark Test (self-evaluation), and Spark Life which is all about school life. It appears to be free with up to date valid information and all your support questions can be answered under the help tab.
Free classic literature at you fingertips on this beautifully designed web site. Very straight forward and simple to use, anyone at any age can find a classic here.

Great for students.
