<h2>Using an online dictionary</h2>

<p>It is extremely important that you understand the difference between an online dictionary and an online translator.Â Not understanding the distinction could land you in hot water with the Academic Honesty Policy!</p>

<p>The online dictionary that I recommend is <a href="http://www.wordreference.com" rel="noopener" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wordreference.com</a>. There is a link to it on the Sakai menu.Â </p>

<p><strong>Dictionaries </strong>only allow you to type a word and give you a definition that should look much like a definition given in a printed dictionary (i.e., shows the part of speech and multiple translations, based on context of use.) If you can type phrases in English and the device or website gives you a Spanish phrase, it is a translator and cannot be used.</p>

<p>The following video shows you how to use the Wordreference.com site to find the best word for what you're trying to say.</p>

<p>Using this site is always ok, but if you choose to use a different one and are unsure about whether it's acceptable or not, please just ask - before completing the assignment.</p>
