While researching Web 2 apps
I come across Wordnik.com: I found through research that wordnik is an online
language resource providing an online dictionary and also a thesaurus. The web
2 app has collected billions of words and uses them to display example
sentences, much larger and detailed than any other typical dictionary. The
interface of the web page is very easy to use, it's very much like google in
the way you type the word into the search box and click search- it instantly
gives the results you asked for.
Wordnik can be used in an educational context as learners
would not only learn how to use the internet while searching for certain
things, but they can also learn how to use an online dictionary and learn a new
array of words. On the home page there are also other buttons you can chose
from such as, ‘Word of the day’ or ‘Random word’ which can help learners learn
new words, not only what they were searching for.
