21 Digital Tools to Build Vocabulary:
Reference Tools
1. Lingro
Lingro is a cool tool for both the “wow” factor and for its usefulness. Simply type in a website
address on the Lingro website and it instantly turns the website into a clickable dictionary that translates
text in 12 languages. Lingro hides in the background until students need it. To use, students simply click
on any word and several definitions of the word are instantly displayed. I could see this as very useful tool
for just-in-time support for English language learners.
2. Lexipedia
Looking for a visual thesaurus? Then Lexipedia is for you. Simple to use. Just type in any word and
Lexipedia instantly displays the target word along with other words. It also color-codes the words by both
parts of speech and relationships. As you hover over a word, a complete definition is displayed.
3. Shahi
Shahi, as described on the website, is a visual dictionary that combines Wiktionary content with
Flickr images, and more! An absolute new favorite for me. Besides serving as a nonlinguistic tool, I can
also see this as a very useful tool for English language learners.
4. Snappy Words
Similar to Lexipedia, Snappy Words is another visual thesaurus. Teachers may want to introduce several
of the thesaurus tools and allow students to select which works best for them. The visually sparse, cleaner
display of Lexipedia works better for me.
5. Visual Dictionary Online
Check out Webster’s visual dictionary which is simple to use. Type in a single word or choose a theme
that also includes many sub-categories from which to choose. Even though Webster’s is simple to use,
1|Page
there is a downside to this tool. After typing in a word search, 4 or 5 Google ads quickly appear above the
definitions. Distracting. Yuk. It’s so clunky I almost didn’t include this tool.
6. Word Hippo
An all-in-one reference tool, Word Hippo does the following: defines a word, provides a meaning,
provides a word that is opposite, pronounces a word, provides rhyming words, places the word in many
different contexts, and translates the word. Whew! That’s a lot.
7. Wordnik.com
Wordnik has the look and feel of a traditional dictionary with a twist. Along with the definition,
students can see images related to the word, hear related sounds, and even see tweets with the target word
highlighted. The “related words” feature is particularly helpful. Wordnik also features a “Word of the
Day,” “Random Words,” and pronunciations of words.
8. Your Dictionary
Your Dictionary bills itself as providing simple, straightforward definitions and the easiest-to-use
online dictionary. That’s about right. Sometimes simple is good. In addition to providing a definition,
Your Dictionary also includes a thesaurus and places the word in varied sentence examples.
9. MathWords
Math Words is a simple-to-use online dictionary specifically for math terms and formulas. This
dictionary appears most appropriate for intermediate and secondary students.
10. A Math Dictionary for Kids
A kid-friendly math dictionary. I like the simple, bright appearance that includes visual examples of
each term. This math dictionary seems to be appropriate for elementary students.
Word Clouds
11. Wordle
Type (or copy & paste) in a chunk of text or individual words and Wordle generates a word cloud
of the key vocabulary based on word frequency. Wordle can also be used for many varied purposes .
12. WordSift
Similar to Wordle, students type (or copy & paste) in a piece of text and WordSift sorts the text based on
word frequency. The visual thesaurus that displays beneath the words is a nice addition in WordSift.
With the visual thesaurus, students immediately see how words are grouped semantically. A useful
addition, I think.
2|Page
13. Tagxedo
Tagxedo is a word cloud app with style! Tagxedo provides a good deal of customization for users. For
example, if teachers or students want to create a word cloud in a shape such as the apple shown above,
then Tagxedo is the right tool for the job. For younger students, Wordle is much more straightforward to
use; however, older students will love the customization Tagxedo provides which includes colors, shapes,
fonts, and themes.
Games and Review
14. Flashcard Stash
While I think that flash cards are sometimes poor practice, students can benefit from instant recognition.
Fluency, if you will, with a specific set of words. Now, if understanding doesn’t go deeper than instant
recognition, students are in trouble. Teachers can sign up for a free account and create flashcards to
coordinate with units of study.
15. Vocabulary Games
While I’m not a fan of word searches for review or “seatwork,” this website also includes a wide
assortment of other vocabulary games that can be used on a SmartBoard for review purposes. To make a
tool like this more effective, be certain to review the meaning of words as students play games.
16. Vocabulary Spelling City
A beefed-up version of vocabulary games, Vocabulary Spelling City includes many more game-like
activities useful for reviewing words. A number of teacher-made lists are included such as analogies,
compound words, math words, and many more. The free version seems to include about 5 activities and
teachers can save lists. “Teach Me” pronounces words and uses each word in context. Teachers can use
pre-selected sentences or create their own. Vocabulary Spelling City is a useful tool for students, teachers,
and parents. While there is both a free and paid version, Vocabulary Spelling City seems like a natural for
PTA funding. The classroom paid version allows students to practice in school and at home as well.
17. VocabAhead
VocabAhead is a useful tool for secondary students and teachers. Short videos – 30 to 60 seconds –
accompany each word and make this tool stand out among others for secondary students. The Study
Lounge, for students, features leveled word lists (grades 6-12) and SAT word lists. Students can view
videos, hear pronunciations, practice, take quizzes, play games, track performance, and more. In addition,
teachers can create their own word lists for students. Custom word lists can be embedded in a blog or
class website which makes integration and review a snap. Apple and Android apps are also available for
free download.
18. Free Rice
At Free Rice, students can practice matching words to the correct definition, and donate rice at the
same time. For each correct answer, the United Nations World Food Programme donates 10 grains of rice
to a country in need. How’s that for combining word learning with social goodness? When a student
plays, there is a visual display of rice (see image) which is added to a bowl each time the student makes a
3|Page
correct response. Free Rice includes subject area lists in Geography, Science, Math, and others. It is
leveled so students can play at just the right level of challenge for them. Note of caution: Free Rice may
be addicting to you and your students.
Word Walls & Virtual Field Trips
19. Wallwisher
Wallwisher is an online space to create a collaborative, digital word wall. Getting a leg up on the
more traditional word wall, Wallwisher allows users to create sticky notes that can include text, images,
links and videos. Teachers can embed this into a classroom website or blog which makes it a go-to
collaborative space for students. For primary students, teachers will probably want to create the wall with
words and links for students. Older students will get the hang of it fairly quickly. A great, collaborative
tool and virtual classroom space to build online references and key vocabulary for content units.
20. ThingLink
ThingLink is a tool for making images interactive. To use, simply upload an image, identify hot spots
on specific parts of the image, and add text or web links to the image. In the classroom, teachers could use
ThingLink to launch a unit by introducing students to key vocabulary or students could design interactive
images as they become more familiar with vocabulary. There are many possibilities; I’d love to know
how you use ThingLink to extend and deepen student learning.
21. TrackStar
TrackStar, a free online program, allows teachers to collect a series of websites and annotate them
so that students can follow an online journey. With a little work, teachers can create a visual
vocabulary field trip for students. Teachers determine topics which support units of study. TrackStar is a
great way for students to experience multiple exposures to words in varied contexts.

Your child could go to COLLEGE for FREE!
http://www.in.gov/ssaci/2380.htm - Click here to apply.
Everyone should apply!
Once you apply, you will be notified as to whether you/your child is eligible.
http://www.in.gov/ssaci/2345.htm - This webpage has all of the information about 21st Century
Scholars.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indiana started the 21st Century Scholars in 1990 to ensure that every student can afford a college
education. Income-eligible 7th and 8th graders who enroll in the program and fulfill a pledge of good
citizenship are guaranteed to receive up to four years of undergraduate tuition* at any participating
public college or university in Indiana.
If you attend a private or an independent institution, the state will award an amount comparable to that
of a public institution. If you attend a participating proprietary (private career) school, the state will
award a tuition scholarship equal to that of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana.
As a 21st Century Scholar, you can get help finding free tutoring, a mentor and a part-time job, and once
you get to college, students who are 21st Century Scholars receive support to finish their college
degrees.
But first you have to apply. Students and their parents must complete and return the application by June
30 of the 8th grade year. Don't wait. Apply today by clicking here <http://www.in.gov/ssaci/2380.htm> .
*The scholarship amount may be reduced depending on the availability of funds and the availability of
the student's family to contribute to college.
Questions? Call your school’s ENL teacher or school counselor, or the Division of Student Financial Aid at
317-233-2100.
