Visuwords: a visual dictionary

The definition of parasite on Visuwords.

Visuwords is a great visual dictionary. It not only gives definitions, but shows the links between antonyms, synonyms and etymology.

I plugged in a few of the words from this cycle’s vocabulary lists (parasite, circumnavigate, host, viceroy etc.) and the results were quite neat.

Also, if you double click a word/node it expands to show you the things it’s connected to. This can lead to a quite complex diagram. It would have been great to use it for the word navigator, because it gives a graphic organizer that pretty much covers what we talked about for social world this cycle.

Definition of eukaryote. Notice it links to the word prokaryote (the red line indicates that it's an antonym).
