My Take
This app can turn kids into real word lovers. It is the kind of app that a kid can get lost in. It is perfect for ELL's and also for the gifted student who wants to build vocabulary. It is ideal for SAT prep.
How I Use It
Students used Wordflex to look up word definitions, and see the connections between the word and its roots, synonyms, antonyms, etymology, and use with prefixes and suffixes. Explode allows students to see the word branch out into trees. Real word lovers can make posters out of their word trees.

Love the Visual Word Graphics!
If I were an English teacher, I would use this app for everything. I like Visual Thesaurus also, but this app is pretty great too.

A great way to learn about words
One of my all time favorite apps. How many dictionary apps and websites are there available? More than needed, but this app is like no other. The visual effects actually make vocabulary work interesting. If. Could install this app on every student iPad I would. The two downfalls include the cost $11.99 and the storage size. This app is comprehensive and data of course uses storage. You have to weigh your options of an online dictionary in the standard format versus lose of storage for other applications in order to gain a whole new dictionary experience.
