One of my favorite online activities is SheppardSoftware.com. The students prefer it to the old-fashioned method of learning political/physical locations. It's simple - use your mouses to locate/click-and-drag/hi-lite the requested spot. Aim for a high score, not just beacuse it's a high score, but because I provide positive reinforcement for great performances.
Pros:
Never had a bad connection. Shep Sof must have a good server.
Dozens of levels applicable to my curriculum.
Proper enunciation included!
It's free!
Cons:
This site is really only applicable to Social Studies. Sorry, other core subjects.
Can't fabricate my own levels.
Internet-based, so wi-fi is a must, and that's limiting to schools with great bandwidth.
