English and ICT: Thesaurus

Thesaurus are dictionaries of synonyms and antonyms. It is common to find lists of antonyms and synonyms in online dictionaries, but if you need a more detailed description of each one and know which is the one that best fits in your context you can use them.

On the website Thesaurus I searched for the term "accurate", an adjective with two possible definitions. Thesaurus gives you for each definition a list of synonyms that you can sort by relevance or alphabetical order and filter the synonyms by level of complexity, length and formal or informal use. You can click on each of the synonyms and it takes you to the definition of the term and another list of synonyms which allows you to know which one best suits your context.

It also includes below a list of antonyms for that word.

In my opinion, it is a good resource if you don't want to repeat the same word in your texts and expand your vocabulary.

A website has static content, there is no interactivity and there is only one-way communication. In a blog, content is regularly updated and allows interactivity and communication between bloggers and readers. Nowadays there is also Vlogs. Vlogging involves the same process of sharing information, experiences and giving advice, but it is done in a video format as opposed to a written one. It is very easy to set up a youtube account where you can record, edit and publish video content. I think it is a perfect resource to improve oral skills. There are three types of blog implementation in classrooms: The Tutor Blog, the Class Blog a...

Hello World!

Hi, I'm Carlos Alemany. I have studied Chemistry at the University of Alicante and the last course I studied a Master for the formation of teachers in secondary education and my level of English is B2. At this moment I work as a tutor of mathematics, physics and chemistry and as a monitor of complementary activities of ecology and computer in a primary school of Alicante. I usually use a smartphone and a tablet to consume digital content or communicate and a laptop to work with.When I surf the internet I like to read some national newspapers, chemistry blogs, and visit the website Youtube looking for tutorials etc. Here I leave you a picture of me in Machu Picchu, one of my favorite places on earth.
