Brain Flips
Brain Flips offers a 2.0 way to create, study, and share flashcards. You can include text images, audio and video files and the variety of practice modes and features allows you to choose the way you learn. There are levels that vary from elementary to college level. If I can find any flash cards on information I need currently I will, and I will certainly share this with my own kids. For some reason "playing" on the computer seems to be more fun than actual paper flashcards...
BrainPOP
BrainPOP creates animated, curriculum-based content that supports educators and engages students. Resources include movies, quizzes, experiments, timelines, activity pages, and more covering hundreds of topics within Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Technology, Arts & Music, and Health. All content is aligned to and searchable by state standards. I would highly recommend watching the tour video. It explains all of the incredible things this site offers. I particularly like that you can search for lessons based on your state standards. Unfortunately, many of the resources on the site cost. Classroom Access for use by a teacher and students in a single classroom on up to three computers, projectors, or interactive whiteboards in an elementary school ranges between $125-$195. I know many PTO and PTA boards help teachers with some of the costs of things like this and I would certainly take the opportunity in a school if offered.
