Add to My LockerWeb Site
Free Rice

At this website, you can practice your vocabulary and contribute to a worthwhile charity at the same time. Initially, you will see a word and four possible synonyms. When you select the correct synonym, 20 grains of rice are added to your bowl for donation to hungry people. If you have been successful, you will be given a harder word to match. There are 50 levels of words in the database.

"With all the technology tools being developed, I love eCoach for the ability to use multiple tools within one environment. My eCoach has become my one-stop online community to: develop my individual lesson plans, work with colleagues on educational projects and tasks, create web pages for my students and parents linked to my district/school webpage, to create blogs both personal and for my students, and so much more. I continue to be inspired every time a new improvement is added to eCoach assuring me that this professional community is continually growing and changing based on our needs and interests. "
