Diagrams with Inspiration

Today, we finished our projects using the "Inspiration" program. I had a lot of fun with this project and am especially excited about the ways it allows visual learners to connect information and research from a text into a graphically organized setting. The possibilities for Inspiration diagrams is virtually endless. I chose to do a kind of character map that allows students to find creative adjectives to describe a main character from a play and then site examples from the text that support those traits. I could use this format for parts of speech, learning the elements of a sonnet, comparing genres or various literature, and creating a personal narrative just to name a few! I look forward to using this program in the future to help enhance and expand my students' opportunities to learn and use technology
