Beth Dichter's insight:
The digital tools listed in this post are focused on vocabulary instruction, a key concern given the Common Core State Standards. Vocabulary comes into play when we look at reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students need to have a broad vocabulary, and we can support this through both direct and indirect instruction. This post provides links to online tools in the areas of:
* Reference Tools
* Word Clouds
* Games and Reviews
* Word Walls and Virtual Field Trips
The post states:
Digital tools allows students to:
* hear pronunciations;
* read words in a variety of authentic examples;
* view photos and images related to words;
* reinforce word learning through interactive games;
* play with and manipulate language;
* discover rhyming words; and
* collaborate with classmates to create virtual words walls.
Consider checking out this post and providing time for students to explore some of these tools in and outside the classroom.
