Visuwords


I chose Visuwords to be one of my top websites because:


  • It's an online graphical dictionary.

  • It allows students to visually see the connections between words.
  • It's very simple to use.
  • It's captiviating and enjoyable to watch.

It will improve effectiveness because:

  • It's more interesting to use than a paper dictionary.

  • It gives several adjectives, verbs, and antonyms for each word typed.

I could use this is the classroom in the following ways:

  • I can have the students draw words out of a hat, and they have to write a poem about that word using Visuwords.

  • I can give them a "word of the day" and each student needs to come up with a synonym or antonym to that word.
