Children's Dictionary

Yahoo! Kids offers an online children's dictionary where the students can type in a word or phrase and it will give them a definition in terms that are easy for children to understand. This website offers much more than a dictionary. Students can play games, listen to music, see jokes, check their horoscope, ask Earl (like ask Jeeves except for kids),see sports, play games, use a world fact book, get information on animals, receive homework help ,and more. If I were a teacher I would use this website if my students needed to know the definition of a word that they are unfamiliar with. I think that it is good for students to be able to find information on their own instead of always relying on others to find answers to their questions. The purpose of this website is to help children by providing a dictionary and other fun things free of charge.
