The first blog I read was a review of "Read the Words" website. I never knew this type of website existed. The user can choose a reader to read various texts. This should help ESL students and adults with listening and pronunciation.
The second post was also a website review. At this site, Wordle, students can create 'word clouds'. The potential for these word clouds is endless. They can be used for definitions, expressing feelings, antonyms/synonyms and art projects. This would be appealing for anyone that is a visual learner.
The last review was on a website that compares words and sayings. On this site, GoogleBattle, a user can type in two versions of a saying, e.g. idiom or colloquialism, and this site will advise which is the most popular saying. The website suggests that this tool can be used to check spellings. However, when I put in consistent vs. consistant, consistant won and this is the incorrect spelling, so go to the dictionary for this. The most popular is not necessarily the most correct! This website could also be used for making predictions.
