Between Youtube, Edubuntu and the Ubuntu Software Center I have found everything I need.

I use Firefox with 3 addons- Video Download helper, Flashblock and VLC player to access and play youtube stuff. Ubuntu 10.10 gives me access to Edubuntu.

Starfall is an online system that requires firefox. It may not play on IE according to a warning when the site opens.

If you are using books by the major publishers they likely have "i-tools" packages that accompany the books as well.

I know that Oxford university press, Longman and Macmillian do for their current series of ELT books.

Check out http://www.edmodo.com, too. A great way to incorporate technology into the classroom, and make sure the students work outside class, too. It even has a smartphone app.
