Thing 15: Education


I got the TED app because I just saw an article about a TED talk given by the woman who co-founded Girls Who Code, Reshma Saujani, titled "Teach Girls Bravery, Not Perfection."  I like the idea.  I have not listened to the whole talk yet, but maybe I will.  Sometimes these talks are a little too much like watching Oprah.

I'm also trying the Advanced English Dictionary and Thesaurus app.  I use Wordsmyth.net to do the Wordmasters definitions for my daughter's class and I would like to compare the two.  Verdict:  Wordsmyth is better for WM because you have access to synonyms, antonyms, inflections and lots more.
