Inspiration

What is Inspiration?
It is a software program which allows one to create mind maps, webs and outlines with minimal fuss and many options for creativity.

What can you use it for?
Students can use this tool to brainstorm ideas, develop story lines, make an outline for a paper, create a family tree and much more.

How has it been used in classrooms?
The following website, [|Kidspiration and Inspiration], provides lesson plans, templates, and instructions on how to use both Kidspiration and Inspiration in the classroom. [|NovaMind] is yet another kind of mind mapping software and gives you ideas and instructions as well as templates of how to utilize the software in class.

Examples of Mind Maps using Inspiration 8 software:

In our @Instructional Plan we had students use the Inspiration software to create a diagram and an outline for their podcast about a prominent Spanish figure (it could be a person or place).
