It amazes me what I learn, and how I learn, as I read my blog subscriptions. In just a few moments I went from reading a blog about using gaming to improve creative writing  to finding an amazing sight about words. And now I’ve stopped to share this with you.

Visuwords  makes graphical representations of any word typed in the search window. What an incredible tool in the classroom for teaching vocabulary and improving writing. At one click of the mouse you can see how the word you typed relates to other words. You can see both synonyms and antonyms and, with a mouse over, you get a more precise definition. It is absolutely brilliant, really. Look brilliant up on Visuwords (of course) and you will see how accurately this word describes this sight on many levels. Also try emotional while you are at it, if only for a beautiful visual representation. Try others too. My favorite (so far) is crank.
