Musings about dictionary.com

Dictionary.com is a resource I use on nearly a daily basis. I keep it on my bookmarks tool bar. I'm such a bad speller. To have INSTANT feedback with a list of choices has been very powerful for me. How could I manage a paper dictionary of 500,000 words? I can only anticipate how powerful it will be for our students when they gain access all day to the tools that can empower their own learning. :)

Actually, I have not used Dictionary.com as much lately. Hmmmm, must be getting better at spelling? Sooo......when I wanted to make a note this morning about Intellectual Property Rights, in my "design" notebook, I was stumped. Told you I was a bad speller. hehe When I typed in my misspelled word for intellectual at Dictionary.com and choose the correct spelling, the following page just amazed me. THIS is just another Web 2.0 tool!

There is much to learn and much to do over the horizon!
