Lexipedia is an online visual semantic network with dictionary and thesaurus reference functionality. This site would be great for students who are writing but are at a loss for what words they could use. In playing with this site I found it was fun to put in a word and see how many other words would come up in relation to the word I used. What a helpful tool for students.

Wolfram/Alpha is to be the first web-based tool that can find answers to all systematic knowledge in the world. For educators, this "computational iknowledge engine" can find objective and fact-based answers for a variety of subject areas. Type in "Newton's Law," for example, and the formula for force is explained. Enter in an equation for a line, and the site plots the line on a graph. Ask "What is the GDP of the United States and Canada?" and a chart depicts a side-byside comparison of the nations' economic data.
