Great Websites for Kids
http://gws.ala.org/
Great Websites for Kids is a compilation of exemplary websites geared to children from birth to age 14. Suggested sites are evaluated by the Great Websites for Kids Committee using established selection criteria. The committee is made up of members of the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association.
Newly evaluated and accepted sites are added to the database three times a year. The committee also reviews all sites within the database twice a year to guarantee sites are still relevant, appropriate and accessible.

Curriki : Open Educational Resources
http://www.curriki.org/
Curriki : Open Educational Resources
Curriki is an open community of educators, parents, and students who share curriculum.
What happens when classroom teachers from every country in the world take part in a global community of sharing curriculum and best practices? Teachers are empowered to create extraordinary learning experiences for their students. Barriers to equal access to education begin to lift—geography and politics become immaterial. And the economy benefits from a highly educated population.
That’s why we founded Curriki, a nonprofit K-12 global community for teachers, students, and parents to create, share, and find free learning resources that enable true personalized learning.
We believe free and equal access to the best curriculum materials is possible and Curriki is leading the way.
VIDEO : Executive Editor of Mashable, sat down in the Samsung Smart Lounge at CES 2012 with Scott McNealy, Founder of Curriki.org, for a conversation about technology's impact on education and the benefits of providing educational tools and materials that are easily accessible online.
