This internet site is an online dictionary with learning activities aimed at younger children aged 8-10 years.
Positive:
Minus:
My Thoughts:
I liked the variety of activities; however found that there were too many distracting side line promotions.
While there were different levels for different stages of learning, the vocabulary was limited, for example when I typed in the word 'big' it only offered simple synonyms such as huge rather than the more complex synonym 'leviathan', 'herculean' that I enjoy using.
I personally wouldn't use the site and I don't think it would be helpful in class as it is not up the the standard of work that we do.

Positive:
- You can see and find all topics easily.
- You can choose beginner, primary or advanced for different words in dictionaries.
- Different levels to suit different people and ages.
- Lots of different activities you can go on.
Minus:
- When you first go on the website it is jam packed and lots of bright colours. The layout was full of stars promoting new activities and not much space in between different objects.
- Once selected what activity I found it hard to know how to get off that activity as there were lots of promotions for new activities.
