I've always thought of Perseus as the original technology tool for Classics. This website, created by Gregory Crane at Tufts, has been around since I was in high school. It has been reworked since then, but continues to have a vast collection of texts in Latin and in Greek. There is a searchable library of Greek and Roman materials (as well as other materials, which I have not searched yet). All the words of the texts have hyperlinks to dictionary and parsing entries, and many of the texts are linked to English translations (usually not completely literal, older but informative translations). Some texts even have linked commentaries. I would recommend this for mature students because younger students may be tempted to copy the non literal translations as their own work.
