What is ‘’visuwords?’’

Hello everyone how have you been so far? I decided to post this time about a very nice program called ‘’visuwords’’.As I was looking up to the dictionary for some new words I encountered this amazing program which I found very useful. So what is ‘’visuwords’’? It is an online graphical dictionary . It helps everyone not only students and us as future teachers but a wider sphere of people. 1)It helps to look up words to find their meanings and  associations  with other words and concepts . 2) It also helps to produce diagrams equal to the view of a neutral net. 3) It helps us learn how all these words associate.

   Hello   everyone. We have been dealing so far with many different technological tools,multimedia in general. While doing the assignments for each every week we have dealt with different programs , apps that beside the fact some were new to us ,to my opinion ,these elements we have been using so far during this course,have helped us to  learn how to do our assignments through interesting ways or apps . Technology ,I  must say has changed every aspect of modern life and education is no exception of it! The modern school sees students confidently engaging with technology and sharing knowledge with each other through their devices. Increasingly more and more repeatedly  students are looking interactive methods to learn and revise moving away from being confined to a desk reading a dull book,the traditional way we have experienced so far . Teachers now have to make it possible to grab their students attentio...
