Visual Thesaurus Expands Exploration

More than an online thesaurus, Visual Thesaurus displays words, their meanings and the links to other words in hyperbolic tree form, so you can see the interconnectedness of your term with other words. Click on a new word, and you are taken to a new area of meaning and those related words. It is fascinating to watch.

At the low price of less than $20 per year per person, it seems a steal, but you can try it out for free for 14 days. Go to Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus to sign up: http://www.visualthesaurus.com/

Visual Thesaurus also has a special educator’s page which features modes of implementation, e.g., self-quizzes for students plus even games to help you learn how to maximize your VT skills. This is a powerful tool for any educator's arsenal:
