While looking around the inspiration site, I found that there was a very interesting web for brainstorming. It allows the students to type in their thoughts and soon have a great start when writing papers. I think it is a program that can and will gain the students interests which is vitally important to the process of learning. I am most interested in stories from teachers who have used the software to get their feedback, and ensure the best oppurtunity for it to work in my classroom. I think first I would use the brainstorming part to show the stduetns different ways of piecing togetehr a paper.
I would use the web part of the program to teach the kids how to outline a paper. There are different webs availabel which will represent the point that there are many ways to appraoch a paper. To get the studetns to help each other I can allow them to make a web together because this will allow them to share their knowledge of the program because different students will have different strategies. I can let the students help me by giving critiques about what is and is not useful.. This program is outstanding but can be most successful when the studetns and teacher work together.

I agree to I think that Inspiration is a good tool for brainstorming and keeping your information organized. I wish I would have had a program like this when I was in high school.
I agree Little John, this program looks like a great educational tool. This program is fast and easy to use and should be no problem for today's students to use.
I totally agree! I thought it was colorful and would keep the childs attention too!
I agree with little john as well. I think that this is wonderful tool to use for kids. I think that this would help kinds and they would stay interested in what they are doing.
