Inspiration is a wonderful software application to help your students develop their ideas and organize their thinking in a very visual and interactive way. It can be used to create a myriad of projects with graphic organizers, timelines, diagrams, storyboards, family trees, concept maps and outlines. Not only is Inspiration a useful learning tool, it is also a powerful teaching tool for presentations, test review, rubrics and more. Once a student, or teacher ,has created an organizer using Inspiration they can add clipart, hyperlinks, Quicktime movie clips, colorful backgrounds and a variety of other visual enhancements to make the organizer more engaging. With the click of a key you can convert your organizer into a standard outline format that can be used to generate a research paper. You can find out more about Inspiration by visiting their website at www.inspiration.com or by talking to your technology specialist. The Inspiration site has links to many resources and examples of projects created with this wonderful software. |
