| The advantage of this dictionary is that if it is up and running it is very quick to look up a word. It's such a large dictionary, the most words you will want to look up will be there.
|
| A disadvantage is that it may take time to start the Encarta program and then find the dictionary part of it. If you plan to use it, you should come in early to be sure that it is running.
|
| Another disadvantage is that the definitions may be a bit too hard for many of the children. Still, these definitions will serve to remind you of the various meanings of a word and you can perhaps better explain the word than you could without this resource.
