"Vocabulary.com is comprised of three sections - The Challenge, Dictionary, and Vocabulary Lists. After creating an account, students can immediately begin playing the Challenge's interactive game to build knowledge and create a learning environment on their level. The Dictionary offers basic and advanced searches going beyond just definitions. Explanations and usage examples taken from current publications and classic literature provide a fuller context that helps fortify students' understanding. Thousands of word lists are available in the Vocabulary Lists section which also lets teachers and students create their own word lists based on assignments and personal interests."
This is what it looks like and sounds like!!!
Scenes from the Unquiet Library: Four Classes Researching, Learning, and Collaborating
I'm always amazed by how beautifully classes co-exist in our learning space when we max out with four classes. I thought it would be fun this morning to capture a quick snapshot of what learning looks like at The Unquiet Library-moments like this are the happiest for me here in the library and validate the vision of a learning-centered library.
