Don't forget the sidebar of this blog

The sidebar of this blog not includes profile information, upcoming events---when applicable---etc. It also includes links to blogs and other resources.

The newest addition is the plain box which lets you tap into the Snappy Words Free Online Visual Dictionary.  (It's the eighth item down in the sidebar). Simply type in an appropriate word and hit search.

Adding this gadget is easy. Here's a link to the code, in case, you're interested in adding this feature to your blog or website.

Free Technology for Teachers is a terrific blog for learning about online resources. Take a look at Snappy Words, a free online visual dictionary and thesaurus, profiled in a post at Free Technology for Teachers.

And if you're interested in visual dictionaries and thesauri (or is it thesauruses?) take a look at Visuwords.

Snappy Words and Visuwords both do really cool stuff with words. Try them out; the results will speak volumes...almost literally.
