Another interesting resource for vocabulary learning is the Visual Thesaurus, which is word based but none the worse for that! What is particularly fascinating is how it lets you play with words and their associations. You can click on a word and it "explodes" into a web of synonyms, superordinates, subordinates, and different parts of speech. If you click on one of these, you get a new "explosion" and can move from word to word to word inside a huge semantic web.<br /><br />It's one of those resources you have to see and try out to get a good feel for it. You can try it for free at www.visualthesaurus.com and if you really like it, it's only $20 per year - 5 cups of Starbucks.<br /><br />I'm also going to follow up on this by a blog post, so thanks for the inspiration!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6791470712005065306.post-55306607133292379042012-01-05T17:56:27.274-05:002012-01-05T17:56:27.274-05:00I love the idea of students selecting images for t...I love the idea of students selecting images for their vocabulary cards.
