However, this current version of our Teacher Tools lacks the finishing touches of \u201cuser experience\u201d design. That\u2019s where you come in. We would like to ask you to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog2.wordsmyth.net\/help\/2021\/05\/teacher-tools-design-research\/\">participate in our design research<\/a> and help us to work out the best user experience for you. Since you and your students are receiving a free subscription to Wordsmyth resources, we hope this is a fair deal \u2013 a win-win arrangement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2.wordsmyth.net\/help\/2021\/05\/teacher-tools-user-guide\/\">Learn more about Wordsmyth Teacher Tools<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New vocabulary words added in our dictionary database<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In the academic year 2020-2021, we\u2019ve updated our dictionary database to include Covid pandemic related vocabulary words, in addition to our regular update based on the requests from Wordsmyth users, including both language learners and educators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few sample entries you might check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordsmyth.net\/?level=3&amp;ent=Covid-19\">Covid-19<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordsmyth.net\/?level=3&amp;ent=coronavirus\">Coronavirus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordsmyth.net\/?level=3&amp;ent=Black+Lives+Matter\">Black Lives Matter<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Word limit in Wordlist Maker has been expanded<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At users\u2019 request, we\u2019ve increase the limit of words in a wordlist from 50 to 100 words. We understand each user has their own unique way of learning vocabulary or managing their students\u2019 assignment. A large list gives users more flexibility to accommodate various learning habits and strategies. While a very long list might be desirable for making glossaries, it can make some activities, like the games or quizzes, very hard to navigate. So you can create both short and long lists on the same topic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog2.wordsmyth.net\/help\/2020\/08\/wordlist-maker-user-guide\/\">Learn more about Wordsmyth Wordlist Maker<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2022 Teacher tools beta testing<br \/>\n\u2022 New vocabulary words added in our dictionary database<br \/>\n\u2022 Word limit in Wordlist Maker has been expanded<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":179285,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-announcements"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
