Blog Posting (Inspiration)

Inspiration:

I think Inspiration will be very helpful for students in school. It is a program to use for brain storming and putting your ideas on paper. I really liked it and i wish i could have used it back in school. I think the kids will like it also. It looks like once you get used to it, then it should be easy to use at home. Using that program back in high school for my essay papers would of been way easier then using paper and pen. That program has a lot to offer to help with notes, you can add video to the notes, web sites, and a bunch of different pics. It could be used in the classroom for group project when there doing there brain storming. When the brain storming is done, then you can save it and e-mail to the kids or turn it into a document and print it out for them.

This would be great for group projects and brain storming in the classroom because you do not have a lot of time for each student to use his/her own program. it would be good to use after reading a book and you have to write a paper after it, you can get all your thought out on paper. or when your working on a history project in a group. So you can see good feedback, the student that is not writing should be looking and seeing what the other student is doing. They should take turns using the program. If a student has a question, then he.she can ask there partner(s) for help before coming to the teacher.

  1. This would be great for the students that don't like to ask the teacher questions. They could go to friends first.

  2. I like this program because it seems that it can be used by the students and the teachers. The tour said teachers can use it with lesson plan making. I also really liked that the students can print off their work.
