Qwiki is a good resource for quick interest features in class - and for some topics an alternative to Wikipedia. Whereas on Wikepdia you're faced with a mass of text and very few images meaning it can take time to find the information you want , Qwiki is the opposite.
Use is to search for public figures, places, natural wonders etc and it comes up with a shortish, simple spoken text and lots of images of great images, pretty much like a presentation.
Also, have you come across SimpleWikipedia which consciously uses much simpler language than Wikipedia and therefore is often a better choice for language learners?
