 * || //What does this tool do?// || //How can you use this tool?// || //What problems, issues or questions did you run into with this tool?// || //If you don't like this tool, give it a 1, if you love it, give it a 5// ||
 * =Lexipedia= || lets you find synonyms and antonyms for words || to generate word lists for over used words (ie, said, happy) || repeats a lot of the words several times; doesn't list all options || 3 ||
 * =Lingro= || makes words on web page clickable so you can get definitions of unknown words || difficult passages - kids can continue to define unknown words so they can read online articles || not good for wikipedia - cannot click on already linked words, just opens new page || 3 (might be more of a distraction) ||
 * =Shahi= || gives definition of words, along with pictures (visual representation) || students can define word in more than one way || some photos aren't applicable, although i love the concept || 4 ||
 * =Snappy Words= || shows word definitions, associations, and examples || learn more about words by seeing connections w/ other words, etc. || difficult for kids to follow - too many different keys; would need to be simplified || 2 (difficult) ||
 * =Visual Dictionary= || finds images of the word || images aren't helpful! || just picture of the word - not word meaning; not helpful || 1 ||
 * =Visuwords= || same as snappy words ||  ||   ||   ||
 * =VocabGrabber= ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * =Webster's Visual Dictionary= ||  ||   ||   ||   ||
 * =Wordia= || supposed to find images to go w/ words; many missing || no images || many of my words didn't have images or video - functions just like a dictionary || 2 ||
 * =Wordsift= || sort of like wordle - shows words that appear most || don't see how this would be helpful for definitions, but perhaps for writing, students can see what words they're overusing || not really a "vocab" tool || 2 ||
