Inspiration Assignment

1.) I really enjoyed the program over the tool Inspiration. I think sometimes when a person brainstorms on a piece of paper they get aggravated. This program looks like it would keep the kids intrigued because it looks so cool. Their are so many things you can do with Inspiration. Mainly the program is used for brainstorming and this could be very helpful for a student who forgets the main points of the lecture or assignment. The student may read a book and want to write a paper over it. Well with Inspiration you can have a easier way in putting your thoughts down in oreder so you can understand them. I would use Inspiration in the classroom when the students have to do a book report or just write a paper. They could get all the major points down with just a simple click without having to write their thoughts on a piece of paper.

2.) Learning how to write can be hard sometimes but their are many tools out there that can help. I think it would be great for the students to be paired up for some writing activities. With Inspiration the students can learn their volcabulary for one another. The students can help each other out if one has made a mistake. Being partnered up can be benificial because the students are getting feedback form their peers. Blogging between the students can also be benificial with writing. All of the students can give feedback to each other on topics such as writing.
