I find wonderful links all the time when I am researching the internet for materials, inspiration, games, or distractions (like cute animals). There are online resource links at the bottom of each subject page, so make sure to check those too. Here I will add newly found online resources that I have researched and categorised by subject or title. This page will be added to as often as possible, and will also link to other pages on the website.
If you have any good online resource suggestions, please contact me.

Resource links by subject
Useful websites for all subjects and study skills
These websites are really useful for more than one subject, as well as for study and exam skills. Bookmark them and plan on returning often!
TED:Ideas worth spreading
Access to a diverse range of talks and presentations, freely available, searchable by topic. Inspirational, thought-provoking, and worth a visit. You can also customize TED to filter content for your particular interests.
EdX
This website is a MOOC (mass open online course) platform, offering free courses on a variety of subjects. You can also pay for the courses if you want to get micro credentials.
FutureLearn
Another MOOC website, aimed at university level courses but worth taking a look. I stumbled upon this site when I was looking for material to complement A Level Thinking Skills and found the Logical and Critical Thinking course from University of Auckland very helpful to give to my students.
Enotes
Self-described as an educational resource for teachers and students, this site has plenty of information on literature, history, science, math and more. Well worth a visit. Some free stuff, but also a subscription site for the rest.
Study Notes (USA)
Aimed at the US market of AP (Advanced Placement) high school classes, as well as SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) and ACT (American College Testing) study notes. This is a developing site, with free information.
Spark Notes
A great resource for literature summaries, analyses, and critiques, as well as giving useful help with other subjects and test prep. If you are studying one of the books on the Spark Notes list, use their resource as a guide.
Quia
Learning whilst playing games is a fun way to keep students interested, or energised. There are several subjects to choose from on this website. This is a fun resource for students, but it works best if students are first directed by teachers. Free trial, but this is a subscription site.
Quizlet
This site contains a vast number of flashcards, created by others, on various topics. It is best if teachers first browse the site to find the most suitable flashcards for a particular topic before sending students to the site. Or, with enough support to create great flashcards, you can ask the students to create their own card deck.
Memrise
This site is a fun way to memorise content for a variety of subjects. One of my students used to challenge me to get a higher score than her.
Cliff Notes and Cliff Notes Study Guides
This is the original study guide resource, with notes written by teachers and professors. Apart from notes on literature, there are plenty of resources on other subjects. This is a very useful resource and reference website for teachers and students.
Revision World
This website is a helpful revision tool, offering a revision timetable that you can create for your own use, and giving revision notes for a number of subjects. The material is created by teachers for students tackling GCSEs and A Levels.
How To Study
As it is described, this how-to-study website covers a number of subjects, and is particularly useful for study skills.
WorldCat Library Resource
The most comprehensive library resource. You can look up titles or subjects to find published materials. Then you can see if the materials are available at the local US library or as e-books, or downloadable pdfs.
Shambles
Another portal site that links to useful revision sites, as well as a portal to educational sites.
Internet 4 Classrooms
A US-based site, this has plenty of resources for all grades, and for all subjects. This can be a great resource for short self-learning exercises, bell work, or online exit ticket work.
Teaching Resources at TES
A teacher's site for teachers to help each other with a variety of resources. This can also be useful for students and is one of those sites that is bookmarked on my tech devices.
TeachersPayTeachers
This comprehensive website has thousands of teacher-created resources for all subjects, at all levels. If you can find materials to supplement your teaching, or to be a part of your course, it can be worth paying it forwards to the teachers by purchasing their resources.
More websites will be added as they are researched and evaluated.
