I love this site because of how nicely it plays w/ our SMART Boards. It has become a great tool for initiating discussions in ELA classrooms. Simply hit the "Random" button and discuss the word w/ your class. You can of course use this as a vocabulary extension activity as well. I worked w/ one class using Visuwords where we tried to predict (as a class and in small groups . . . nice way to allow for differentiation) related nouns, verbs, etc. This activity created engaging classroom discussion!

In the schools where we have access to a SMART Board we use the pens to write our predictions, capture them to the Notebook and then discussed the discrepancies. Let me know how you use it in your classroom!

A great way to do vocaulary prep while creating global social awareness.
