Paragraph1: According to the website,
please tell what you find, what you think, and what interests you. How and why may you use Inspiration in your classroom?
Inspiration has set templates, and types of outlines to use in the classroom. I think depending on the maturity of your students, this could be very beneficial, especially to middle/high school aged students. It would make organizing easier and less painful. It will also help keep our students in tune with today's dependance on technology. It is an updated version to help with the success of our students. Students can use this program to create outlines, and brainstorming for their own projects, or a teacher can use it to display her lecture. It is a very interesting form of student-teacher interaction. I would definately experiment with this program.
Paragraph 2: According to the website and the textbook, answer the following questions:
What type of writing activities would make the best use of technology in your classroom?
Writing is an activity that benefits from multiple revisions and high-quality feedback. Recognizing that your teaching time is limited, how can you have students help each other during writing? How can you use technology tools to support peer feedback?
By using Inspiration, or other similar programs, the students could build online brainstorms for essay topics. Students could then take polls online and leave comments to support, or critique nicely other students' work. They can also peer-edit by this method. This can be done online, and help save classroom time for other important things, because if students have access to computers at home, this could be a type of homework without worrying about keeping up with papers. Teachers will be able to monitor everything that goes on as well.

Thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas! There is no doubt in my mind that you will one day become th world's best teacher! You seem like a great person? Wanna go out sometime? Maybe have some lunch or something? Maybe we can go for a long walk in the park? I see that you have a pug, we should bring her? Then we can relax with a warm bubble bath. Please respond, I must be desperate!
Do you really think that a high school student will be engaged enough by the web-site's design and options to stick with using it? I do not want this question to sound rude, I am really just wondering. What subjects do you feel could be covered properly by this program?
i see where your coming from. good idea.
