These smart Web sites will help your kids do well in school and save parents from having to relearn geometry in order to answer their kids' homework questions:

Bibme.com — Kids can say goodbye to typing up tedious bibliographies for their reports. Type in the title or author's name of the book, magazine or newspaper article or Web site and Bibme.com creates all the appropriate formatting.

Cramster.com — High school and college students can cyber-study together with this well-designed social network built around learning math-based subjects.

Livemocha.com — The best way to learn another language is total immersion and that's the idea behind this innovative social network-meets language class site. Sign up to learn one of 26 languages in a series of visual, fun, multimedia classes.

Mycollegecalendar.org — This site has everything you need to know about the college application process all in one place. Learn when and how to file applications, how to write essays and where to get financial aid and scholarships.

Scholar.google.com — Instead of scouring the entire Web for answers, this site only checks scholarly works; papers, books and articles from academic publishers, professional societies, universities and other similar organizations.

TheFreeDictionary.com — You can scan definitions, hear correct pronunciations so you don't embarrass yourself in conversation and get dozens of translations. You can even play hangman or enter a cyber spelling bee.
