Espiral is to provide its users with a free Dixio ForWeb dictionary service
Dixio ForWeb, the web version of Dixio, will shortly be available on the Asociación Espiral, Educación y Tecnología websites. It is very easy to use and helps users understand what they are reading when they merely double click on a word.
Espiral is a group of teachers, technically qualified individuals, investigators, students and organizations established over 20 years ago and interested in the promotion and application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education.
It currently has 700 members and more than 300 collaborators from the field of education. The association is for people interested in the use of ICT and learning and knowledge technologies in education. They seek to participate and collaborate with, and form part of, a network of enthusiastic educators committed to education in the 21st century. The people who are part of Espiral believe in participative education and in the new role of teachers as the facilitators and motivators of dynamic learning.
