Mac OSX Dictionary/Thesaurus

BTW, this any several other "how to" videos about Mac OSX are available in your iTunes store.

Did you know you have an instant Dictionary on your MLTI Macbooks available anytime?

In any MLTI application you are working on (including your web browser)  you, or your 1to1 students, can access an Apple Dictionary with Thesaurus and Wikipedia simply by highlighting the word, or phrase, and Control+Click.  You will notice in the drop down contextual menu the option to Look Up in Dictionary.  Apple's Dictionary will automatically launch displaying your selected word's definition.
