VISUAL THESAURUS

There are some programs that improve with age - like a good vintage wine. Visual Thesaurus is one of these jewels. Innovative in its design they have now added other languages, but not only other languages, it is how they implemented it! Very cool! This ought to prove a jewel for those in BCLAD classes, and actually English and language arts classes.

Here is an example - I looked at the word: "wonder" which is difficult to translate if you use it in the sentence: "I wonder...." The Spanish concepts of that sentence is tricky to translate but it is easier to do it with this picture:

Is that cool or what?

But not only that, you also get to hear the word pronounced (Listen you teachers that are teaching second language learners!) You can also e-mail this graphic to others if you wish, Then they have a "Teacher's Corner" to help teachers use the tool in their classrooms.

You can subscribe to the service or else buy the desktop version of the program - the cost is nominal really - two Frapuccinos' worth!

Have a great time!
