Visual Thesaurus
Visual Thesaurus is an interactive thesaurus that creates a word grid relating from searched words. It encourages searches and learning helping users to increase language skills.
How it works
Step 1: Type in a word in the LOOK IT UP box. For this example I will type the word "happy".
Step 2: Look at the word map and choose the word you would like to use. I choose the word blissful and it also had an audio clip along with the word just incase I needed help pronouncing it. Definitions are located on the right and and the navigation at the top is fairly straightforward and easy to understand
This is a great way to visually understand word meanings and gives a way to expand a students vocabulary.
