WordNet® is a large lexical database of English, developed under the direction of George A. Miller (Emeritus). Nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are grouped into sets of cognitive synonyms (synsets), each expressing a distinct concept. Synsets are interlinked by means of conceptual-semantic and lexical relations. The resulting network of meaningfully related words and concepts can be navigated with the browser. WordNet is also freely and publicly available for download. WordNet's structure makes it a useful tool for computational linguistics and natural language processing.

I am forwarding you a link for an online flashcard generator that I think may be useful. I like this one because you can:\n* Create your own cards \n* You can use the cards from the existing database\no The cards in the database are categorized by \n Age/grade\n subject\n* You can share cards with the database (and therefore your students)\n* You can practice your cards\no On the computer\no By printing them\no By creating an iPod file\n* You can add pictures\n* You can add audio files\nThere are many flashcard generators out there, but this one is free (for registration) and does everything I need plus, being able to review the cards on the ubiquitous iPod is nifty!\n

From Gretchen Schroeder: What I like about WordWeb Online is its ability to do "fuzzy" spelling suggesting words close to the spelling you entered. Cross linking to related words, and if it doesn't find a word in its, more than 300,000 word database, it will search the web for definitions for you. It is also available in both an iApp and an Android app.
