Journal 6a: Inspiration


1. I loved using Inspiration software! This is an extremely helpful tool for planning or organizing thoughts. I believe this could be very useful both to students and to teachers. Teachers could utilize this program to create a variety of colorful and inventive graphic organizers for students, while students could use it to map out thoughts or plans for projects. It is user friendly and allows for easy "reversal" of any steps. Because this program is not free, I believe it is not truly accessible for all students. The cost is the one downside to the program.


2. As a teacher, I could use this program to create colorful and inventive graphic organizers for my students to use in class which will help them retain information. For students, this program can be used to map out thoughts from notes and textbook reading, or to plan for projects.


3. I did not utilize Atomic Learning for this software. I was able to learn how to use Inspiration through the in-class tutorial. Additionally, it was extremely user friendly and easy to pick up on.
