 * Sharing answers
 * Think about the word “Vocabulary” Use graphic organizer to list synonyms, antonyms, related words, and illustrations
 * Break into 4 groups to explore online vocabulary resources
 * Create visual to explain your group’s web sites to everyone
 * Dan, Kayla, Joy had Lingro and Shahi
 * Snappy Words creates a web that shows words related to, synonyms, antonyms, etc for words you enter
 * Word Hippo—has resources for word use but too many ads—too distracting; Wordnik has unrelated pictures; they like Dictionary.com better than these

 * Which of these resources would you share with your teachers?
 * Math Dictionary is popular with the group
 * Snappy Words—have students create a graphic, then compare with the ones on the Snappy Words site
 * Also check out ‘21 Digital Tools for Teaching Vocabulary’ on link on A.C. Wiki
 * Working on LiveBinder
