Ok, it may seem a bit cheap to use this as a web 2.0 website, and I know many people have their opinions about it, but realistically SOMEONE should mention Wikipedia so it may as well be me.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Wikipedia is the largest repository of information on the net that you can both read and write to. While I advise against my students against using it as a research tool without checking and verifying the sources, for the most part it is a nice resouce. Wikipedia is very searchable for easy finding of topics. Wikipedia also separates some of their more popular topics into their own wikias for easier browsing. A nice feature of Wikipedia is that many topics within an article are hotlinked so that you can further investigate a topic if you wish.
As I mentioned above, you are able to contribute to Wikipedia with a simple account creation. You may wish to do this from home as the school's ISP is blocked from contributing from time to time.

Yeah, you're right Brett - it's cheap.
