This instructional website makes it so much fun to learn everything about volcanoes. It gets students actively involved with learning by a few features. First, the interactive tutorials engage students by providing the graphic information of volcanoes, including the global perspective, volcano types, and geological structures inside a volcano. Second, the site has a fun game to have student build their own volcano and watch it erupt with vivid sound effect. The game is highly interactive and rich in contents. All of the features of the website have incorporated many footnotes of learning material, which really helps student to understand the subject.

This site has hundreds of educational games in the subjects of literacy, math and science.

Oxford Owl is a FREE and easy-to-use website that has been built with teachers and parents. It is packed with helpful advice from motivating boys to reading eBooks. It is especially a great tool to keep up with reading in the holidays, playing fun activities, and going over familiar characters that kids know from school. I found this website really helpful for busy parents who don't have much time to read books for their kids. There are over 100 free eBooks on the site.

Writing Chinese Character (Hanzi) is very challenging for English speaking people. Skritter makes it fun and easy to practice writing Hanzi with a computer mouse. The stroke-by-stroke feedback guides learners through the whole process of Hanzi-writing. If you make an error it helps you right away before you've completed a character. However, it's subscription-based service and the monthly subscription for Skritter is $15 (or $180/ year).
