In the context of this and the two former blog posts, I'm addressing a suite (collection) of applications residing on and running from within a flash drive. They can be taken from computer to computer and require no installation other than onto the flash drive upon which they are stored.
The latest I've tried and found to be exceptionally powerful and versatile is Lingoes. This portable app features dictionaries, translators, speech, the ability to download and install multitudes of free dictionaries.
One of the most powerful dictionaries with which I've experimented is the bidirectional Chinese>English dictionary. If you interact with ELLs (English Language Learners) in any capacity, check out this free program. Click on the links above or below to learn more. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to navigate this program.
Marion County educators: As always - If I can be of service in helping you or your students, please contact me.
