    Oftentimes, gifted and twice-exceptional students are starved of their learning, and have to rot in boredom because of it. That's why I'm recommending BBC's schools website to gifted students, because I got most of my information there. There are challenging English, Maths, and Science games for Standard Bitesized, while there are other interesting subjects, such as career management, religious studies, and citizenship (which I read: it's pretty much safe there). One warning, however; one of the games features a Tim Burtonesque character named Mia Cadaver (Cadaver meaning skeleton or skull in Spanish), which could frighten younger children, although she looked cool to me.

    Google BBC schools.

    This is probably one of the more encomapssing sites with a menu of panels:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/

    There is BBC bitsize for the younger crowd, but the resources by no means stop here. There are many sites for older kids as well, such as number theory and so forth.

    Have fun!

    It looks really fun. I can tell I am going to be on it for hours.

    You all might know about these sites, but www.prufrock.com is an amazing resource for gifted kids, and John's Hopkins has wonderful classes.
