Lexipedia

This first website that I found is called Lexipedia, and it helps students with their vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. One can access this website at http://www.lexipedia.com/english.


This website helps a student learn more effectively. The learning tool allows for an individual to type in any word into the search bar. Along the left hand side, definitions are posted of the word in question. Then, in the plain white space covering most of the web page, the word will appear with what looks like a web coming out of it from all angles. Along each web line are points containing other words similar to the original word, as well as synonyms and antonyms. One can also read definitions and usages of the words that correlate with the initial word by dragging these points around with the cursor. Thus, the multiple options this website offers proves its overall effectiveness. By using this tool, students can search for words they do not know, as well as learn about other words that are similar to the original word and how to use them in a sentence.
