This website allows you to look up words to find their meanings and associations with other words and concepts. The site acts as both a thesaurus and a dictionary in a concept map style. It could be used to help students when writing in that it also uses a code to help students not only understand that words are connected but also how they are related.

This site acts as a visual dictionary. Students can type in the word they need defined and not only will they find the definition but a cartoon drawing as well. The drawings that accompany the definitions help illustrate and reinforce the meaning of the term. I am a very visual person so for me this site is really neat in that it adds a little interest to looking up a vocabulary word. The cartoons can be comical and I think that kids need that every now and then.
