__Dictionaries:__
Easy to Understand Dictionary
 * The definitions included in this dictionary are very easy to use; although, it is British based, so some of the terms need a little explanation to English Language Learners.

Picture Dictionary
 * I suggest that you use this to help students that do not understand the definition of a word and need a visual, but the definitions define the slang terminology as well, and can include more adult content. PREVIEW this one first before popping this one up on the screen, just to be safe. Overall, it is very useful though, and worth the extra time to preview.

__ Translators: __
English to Spanish and Spanish to English
 * This one was recommended by the TIE.net group (which is linked to the LIU). It is very easy to use and includes an audio component.

Google Translator
 * Although most of our students speak Spanish as their first language, we have many that speak Haitian Creole and other languages. This translator has many language options.You can also use this to translate an entire document (although, always remember that these translations are usually not 100% accurate and when sending paperwork home to a parent, try to have a native speaker check your translations first).
