Tablet Math: Free Math Videos
TabletMath is actually a subscription service, but they put over 250 math videos on YouTube for homeschoolers, including videos that correlate with popular homeschooling math programs Saxon and Math-U-See.
http://www.youtube.com/user/tabletclass/videos
These are similar to Khan Academy in some ways, but more visually appealing.
Some of the videos correlate with a free math quizzes site: http://homeschoolmathquiz.com/

Grammar and Punctuation course
This is a well-done course for middle school through college. It hits mostly on the places most people make errors (so you won't be placing periods at the ends of sentences here). There are lessons and online exercises with instant feedback.
