I have been using inspiration for about five years and Mike has been using it since he student taught with me. He now uses Bubbl.us or mywebspiration (free at this time) since his building did not buy inspiration. However, if 30-40 percent of your students are visual, we need to be using webs for our students benefit. These software's help students understand, see connections, and learn the material we teach.
I posted this little visual blog because of the email I got yesterday. It was from Brittany.
Thanks! I downloaded the free trial but couldn't connect my netbook to
the Smartboard, so I just used Webspiration from the teacher's
computer.. My group is teaching a unit on writing a research paper, so
after the kids do their research and have their notecards they're
going to make an inspiration web and then convert it to an outline to
help them write their papers. It's also a great way to help them
generate ideas before we take them to the library. Thanks for
introducing me to the software!
We need teachers to find ways, like Brittany, to make school work for our students. The old software's still have value.
