Learn Multiple Subjects
Sit and watch cool stuff ...it's just like TV but it makes you smart, but it is the internet so you can choose what and when to learn.

Ted and TedEd - TED www.ted.com and www.ed.ted.com
NOVA- Showshttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/

BRAINPOP - http://www.brainpop.com/
Learner.org - scroll to the subject you want to learn and click for videos http://www.learner.org/resources/browse.html
any educational show on tv usually has an educational website. (mythbusters, how its made etc)
http://lifehacker.com/
Youtube: it can make you smarter

Blocked from school, but youtube is actually the best site for learning in a fun way. Instead of watching dumb videos, subscribe to some really great content providers who will get you thinking. Check with your parents first because some are kind of PG13, but some I recommend are Quirkology, CGPGrey, Vlogbrothers, Thinkr, Alex Dainis (BiteScized), Crash Course Biology and Crash Course World History, MinutePhysics, ViHart, Vsauce, the list goes on and on. Once you start watching more of those you will find others that are educational and also fun and entertaining.
