As I was working on my WebQuest I was perusing the internet in search of kid-friendly online dictionary websites. I didn't want to send students to dictionary.com (my savior when it comes to words I don't know) because I wasn't sure how schools would feel about the ads on the site. SO, I searched and searched for a site that was better for students. I finally came across one that gave AMAZING definitions in kid-friendly language (www.wordsmyth.net). If you need a dictionary website for students I would definitely suggest using this one. It gives them the opportunity to look up definitions and spellings of words without having to leave the computer.
Also, this is more of a question than an opinion or statement, but does anyone know of a good website that can do puzzles online? I know puzzlemaker, but I was looking for one that the students could create AND fill out exclusively online. I must confess, I didn't do a lot of surfing, but it seems as though all the puzzle makers out there were print outs. Anyway, if anyone comes across any please let me know!
