Where Do You Get Your “Inspiration” for Writing?
for intermediate and secondary grade students
Writing can be an exciting, dynamic, and visually stimulating process! Even “non-inspired” writers can become enthused with
the aid of concept mapping. Inspiration™ software is designed to allow students to build graphic organizers, which represent concepts
and the relationships between them. As a visual learning tool, Inspiration strengthens critical thinking, comprehension, and writing
skills across the curriculum. When linked to Indiana writing standards, Inspiration can be used to energize the learning process, individualize
classroom instruction, track student performance, and achieve specified writing objectives.
Diagrams can be instantly transformed into an outline with a click of the mouse. Writers can quickly rearrange and prioritize ideas,
resulting in well organized, succinct, and clear reports or papers. Hyperlinks, which directly connect to Internet resources or other
desktop applications, are easily developed. Likewise, it is really easy to move work produced in Inspiration to be to either Microsoft
Word™ or AppleWorks applications to continue the writing process. The product comes complete with hundreds of clip art images
and graphic shapes, but you can import others or even digital photo images for use in your diagrams. Whether used to plan writing or
to present student research, Inspiration is an affordable and versatile classroom technology tool for students in intermediate grades and
higher. Get more information or download a free 30-day trial at http://www.inspiration.com.
