Inspiration

I cannot believe I had never heard of the Inspiration tool. It seems like an awesome way to help all of your students keep up with their work, stay organized, and be prepared for any quizzes or homework assignments. It interests me that they have finally come out with something that can better help our students stay organized with all of their work. While you are using Inspiration you are learning and keeping everything you learn in a neat order. I would use Inspiration in my classroom so that students will not fall behind from not being able to see what they are learning. Students can use hyperlinks and put videos on their diagram. I like it when a student is able to hear or see what they are learning opposed to just reading it.

I enjoy the way a student can write an outline and can create little boxes on their tempelate that have information from their outline on it. I like how you can move your outline to the actual diagram that you are working on. You can have students help each other with their outlines and decide where they are going to put their information on their diagram or tempelate. Your students will be learning more from their outlines and diagrams than doing the usual class work.

I remember the first time I had to teach a skill I definately studied over what I was teaching before I ever taught it. I do know now that by my students asking me questions about it that I never wondered, really opened up my eyes to the issue. There are all kinds of questions people will ask you that you may not know the answer to. Whenever you find that answer sometimes you come out knowing more about the topic than you realized and end up knowing more after you taught it.
