Day 11: Thesauri!

OK, I'm a word nerd, and I LOVED this idea! I may have looked at something similar to it before. It's cool to see the links between words.

I started with the free site, Lexipedia. I like it, especially the idea of "fuzzynyms". But I think it's British, which might not work for my students. What would they do with the term "small beer" for trivial? Or "trifle"? What would they think of "jolly"?

Visual Thesaurus is also good, but the diagrams aren't as large for the non-paying customers.

Still. Very cool.
