This is a very interactive site which provides students with games and videos on a wide range of subjects. The videos are fairly informational and the games are very easy and fun. Overall a great site to get students interested in a particular topic.

This site has hundreds of educational games in the subjects of literacy, math and science. It has learning videos on subjects like the plant life cycle, frog life cycle, the five senses, and much more with review games you can play afterward. It has lesson plans, free printable worksheets, arts and crafts coloring pages, and a cute blog. The only drawback is that the games are all narrated with a robotic voice. Other than that, it's a good website for kids!

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).

Parents and teachers will find tons of resources for teaching children in this site. The main contents in the site are learning games, activities, education video clips, and fun quizzes on various subjects, which are appropriate for children ranging from Pre-K to 12th grade. The library of videos is very impressive, with more than 9,000 video clips in total on the Learning Zone Class. The video is ready to play in any computers at school or at home. However, the site seems to be very slow, with many video taking a long time to load, and a majority of them can not be accessed in the U.S area.

This would be a good website for research for students about the Holocaust. You may also change the language. The tabs on top are Museum, Education, Research, History, Remembrance, Genocide, Support, and Donate that includes more detail information under each tab.

This seems like a good website to learn or review math. There is no cost to the website, and unlimited practice allows for mastery of the subject, and there is immediate feedback. It is sorted by grade on top - K through 8 and then sorted by subject on the side.

This site has something for just about everything. Great for research and students exploring. Very well done, easy to navigate.

This site has a larger number of listening activities. I liked that it has comprehension questions. This would be good for students who are looking for extra help.

This is a good database of ESL sites. It found it quite helpful.

Nice resource for finding books to read at primary, intermediate, or advanced. It would be good for adult learners or younger students to find books to practice reading English.
