This is an educational gaming site. Mostly for elementary students this site provides interactive games in math and language arts. A great site that is safe and free.

This is a website that offers help, information and games to high school students. It is categorized in to English and History, Math and Science, and then educational sites. There is information, practice tests, examples, games and a whole lot of information about many subjects. This would be a good website for students to go on to find support in subject matter. There are sites to go to for video and training online and much more.

This website is a good resource to learn about history and nature, science, language arts, health, geography, engineering and more. You can click on tabs that are organized by grade, subject, and even apps that you can get on a smartphone. I was able to see a lot of information and there were games with all of the subjects. It made me want to play them all and read all of the info.

This site is fun for young children. There are many options to choose from and several subjects and skills to work on. There is a game in Spanish also. On this site students can work on math, science, reading, phonics, and other cognitive skills. This site is full of fun activities.

This is a website through the San Francisco Symphony for kids. There is an entire section for instrument families, a tempo game, and some note name reviewing games. I like the way it introduces instrument families and the sound clips available for each instrument of the orchestra. I also like the way it shows an orchestral seating chart for older students.

This website has tabs on the top for math arcade, reading, playground, and all games. The website is very colorful and you need to "log in" to set up the appropriate games to play. This website is geared for K - 8.

Fun Brain has math, reading, and fun activities for students to do. It looks to be for the elementary level. Besides games it also has books and comics for students to read. The website is very easy to use and is very welcoming to elementary aged students.

This is a good website for kids to just browse around and play around on. They would be able to play games with their parents and learn at the same time. There are educational games and games that are just for fun. I played a few and they were fun. These could be played by elementary students.

This site is the Smithsonian's National Zoo. It includes exhibit information, live cams, photo galleries and the latest news from the zoo from new animals being born to apps for apes on digital devices. It is interesting and has many links to connect you to more information about animals.

This website had images with text, videos, and interactive experiments students could perform to learn about covalent bonds and how they work.

This site is awesome. It has Q&A interview style questions and it has short videos explaining the most common questions about evolution that I get asked about many times each year

has text, videos, and example problems. Seemed good for Freshmen/young students.

This a great spelling website for kids that turns their spelling lists into a game for them. It also has vocabulary flash cards and tests for them as well.

This is NASA's website about the solar system for kids. There is a lot of great information, real photos, and games about the planets for kids.

A great site for learning about American History especially the American Revolution and the Civil War. There is great information, real photographs and timelines.

This website has many resources for teachers from kindergarten through high school. There are lesson plans, discussion topics, and professional development articles. There are lesson plans for reading, math, science, and social studies.

This isn't the most visually appealing site, but it is super easy to navigate and has tons of different activities for ESL students. It is geared more towards adult/older learners since there aren't a whole lot of pictures and the site is kind of a depressing gray…but it still has fun activities and games to play to improve students' English skills.

This site has an impressive collection of links to ESL help websites on various topics. The ads on the sites are a bit distracting, but it is still a super informative. I especially like that it has a life skills section that has vocab lists based on different topics that the students could face. (P.S everything has sound)

This is a great site for phonics for kids. It is really colorful and bright and just fun in general. Also I've never seen a little kid site that has sign language options for many sections/words. If you get stuck reading something and click the words it will read the word for you and there are fun topics with information about them-there is a section about musicians and artists too with short little info about famous songs or pictures. It is really awesome.

This is an awesome site for English Language Learners. It has grammar, videos with comprehension questions, and business english. I think this would be great for high school/ adult ESL learners.

This is a nice site for adult ESL learners. It has American idioms, pronunciation, and a "classroom". It is a little difficult to navigate, and I don't like the graphics. However, it has good material and I think that it is an excellent site of ESL students.

For $39.95/year you can become a member as a parent or a teacher. You don't have to be a member to play the daily games like word search, sudoko, quiz, and interactive playground. It seems like this website focuses on improving the mind, and is geared for students from preschool through 7th grade and up.
