Arlene Blum, teacher at the American School for the Deaf says:

"We have a laptop program where our kids use them for the writing program. When they see a word on the Visual Thesaurus and click on it, they get excited about it and see the subtleties of language. It's opened a lot of avenues for us. We would love more ideas on how to use the Visual Thesaurus with our kids and how to teach them more language. Our goal here is to teach them more vocabulary so they're competitive with their hearing peers."

Teachers out there, any suggestions for Arlene? Do you have any lesson plans with the VT that you'd like to share with her and other teachers?

What are you reading? Where are you surfing? What's your vote for Word of the Day? We want to know. Tell us, and why. We'll choose entries we love and post it on our new magazine. If you send us a picture, we'll put that up, too.

Are you a versatile -- and top notch -- web and graphic designer with at least five years experience and strong IA talents? If so, the Visual Thesaurus is looking for you! We're based in New York's Soho area, and, hey, we're a great bunch of people to work with! Exciting projects on deck: Developing our online magazine, creating packaging for major retailers, creating targeted online ad campaigns and sites, and evolving our website design. Please email us your resume.
