I was searching around Pinterest today and I stumbled across another secondary english blog: (which is awesome because there are not a lot of us) 
http://www.eatwriteteach.com 
She introduced me to something I never knew about before but is 100% useful!
Lingro.com 
You can input a website and it will turn that website into a clickable dictionary. 
Once you input your website any of the words are clickable and a definition of the clicked word will pop up on the screen. 
A screen shot from one of my VistaPrint posts:
This will save me so much time this year when we are in the lab if I teach the kids to "Lingro" their websites first!
I refuse to answer the question, "Yo, Ms. Potter, what's this word mean?" when they are sitting in front of something that has a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips. 
Now I can just say...."Lingro" and carry on!
Check it out!
