What We Do for You - Online School eLibrary
Gifted Education Services – Online Dictionary
The National Academy for the Gifted makes it easy for gifted program students to find out information with just a few keystrokes. Our Online Dictionary allows your gifted education student to reference information in seconds. Traditional dictionaries simply give you the basic facts. Our eLibrary is dynamic, meaning that the content contained within is interconnected in a dazzling network of informational enrichment. It’s much more than just defining a word. You’ll have access to a wealth of online resources that are linked to each definition. When using our Online Dictionary, your child will not only learn what a word means, but learn how to place the word in a sentence, place it in a cultural context, learn about the origins of the word, and more!
Gifted Education Services – Online Thesaurus
Our Online Thesaurus is a great way to build your child’s vocabulary. Utilizing our Online Thesaurus is much faster than paging through a thesaurus while making sure you have the right spelling. Just bring up the eLibrary, type in the word in question, and access a wealth of dynamic information. Type in a word into the thesaurus. Find a synonym. Click on the definition of the synonym to find out how to pronounce it. Click a button to hear the word pronounced out loud through your computer speakers. Find out the Latin roots of the word or translate it into a different language. Our gifted education program makes it easy for you to find information fast.
The next time your child asks you what something means, tell him/her to look it up! It’s important for children to learn how to quickly search for information on the internet. Our curriculum and online dictionary help foster those skills. This skill set will be exceedingly valuable during research projects.
