21st-Century Learning Tools: Interactive Visual Dictionaries

21st-Century Learning Tools: Interactive Visual Dictionaries | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"...explore the expanding genre of interactive multi-media visual dictionaries by looking at two very different options. The first by Merriam-Webster and QA International, the Visual Merriam-Webster; the second is Visuwords."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Along with the visual dictionary by Miriam-Webster and Visuwords (one view seen above) there is also a link to a great site called Vocabahead. Vocabahead provides words lists for students from 6th grade through 11th grade. You can also get the top 300 SAT words and a Master List. What makes this different is that you select a word and a visual screencomes up with an illustration and the definition is read to you. There is also a sentence at the bottom of the screen that provides a sentence so you can hear the word in context. With over 12,000 words chances are you will learn new ones. You can also take quizzes, share word lists, track performance and more! All these tools are free, and Vocabahead also has an apps for Androids and iPhones.
