Described by one user as 'One of the best places I have found online to make the abstract, hard to visualize concepts in computer science much more accessible and understandable', the site contains interactive demonstrations - I also use them on the whiteboard, and also get students to tinker and investigate the ideas for themselves.

There are also presentations, programming tasks, and a crowd-sourced third-party resource database.  It's all I use for GCSE Computer Science (apart from some past-paper questions) - and it's all free.

Check out the A-Z index or use the search facility to see everything the site has to offer.
