How can WORDNIK be used in an educational context?

Can wordnik be used in an educational context?

What is Wordnik?

Wordnik.com is a website that proposes a dictionary and thesaurus content. This website permits you to search for definitions, different words and sentences. Wordnik has thousands of words/example sentences and exclusive words.

My opinion.

I believe this website is extremely relevant and could be really helpful in the educational context. Whilst developing educational knowledge and widening the mind, you can use words that you may not know but can learn. Wordnik.com I sense offers consistent definitions if the student/person does not have a dictionary at hand. For students, Wordnik.com is very useful when it comes to writing an essay, repeating yourself is something that is very common and very easy to use words you have already used. Using a site like this can help you progress the flow of the essay.


I feel Wordnik can be used in many different educational contexts and not only for children/students. This can be used for adults and teachers as well. I personally would recommend and use this website myself. It is also reliable as internet is at hand everywhere you go, on phones, laptops, tablets, libraries etc.
