Inspiration


Inspiration is an excellent tool to implement in the classroom. Inspiration is a computer program that is used to make graphic organizers. I like this tool because it is great for teachers to make graphic organizers for lessons in their classroom. It is also great because, rather than using a pre-made one, a teacher can create an organizer that is more personalized to their class and what they are teaching. Once a teacher becomes relatively familiar with Inspiration, creating graphic organizers becomes very quick and easy. Inspiration is also great in classrooms because it is easy for students to use on their own. Inspiration is a program that students can use for projects and classroom assignments. An Inspiration graphic organizer would be a great option for a student choice project.

In this assignment, I chose to do my graphic organizer on objects in space. I am very interested in space and it is a subject that I am very excited about teaching. I found using Inspiration a little difficult to catch on to at first, but once I caught on I found that it came easier and I began to experiment with different options. I think that the wonderful thing about Inspiration is the unlimited things that can be done with it. It can be incorporated in any subject and any grade level. I think that it is something that every teacher should become familiar with.
