Looking for a new way to teach students about word meanings and associations? Check out Visuwords™ online graphical dictionary . Type in a word, hit enter and get a diagram showing word associations. The user can then interact with the diagram - zoom in, shift the model around, grab a node to clarify connections, hover over a node to get the exact definition of that word. Use it as a dictionary. Use it as a thesaurus! Just play and learn! It's pretty cool.
I'd love to hear from you if you can think of specific activities for your students with this resource.
