Inspiration

Impossible is not a fact ... it's an opinion!
For more ways to inspire your students try Inspiration, or Kidspiration, software. With such a strong emphasis on the key competency of Thinking Skills, I consider these programs to be essential in the classroom. Very rarely would I consider paying for software, but would make an exception with Inspiration.

There are so many things you can do with it! It's a fantastic concept-mapping tool for your students or, if you only have one computer and a projector, use it to put the whole classes ideas together. You can brainstorm, group, compare, organise, arrange and rearrange. It's also fantastic as a writing frame, especially for our more visual learners, and with one click turns a colourful diagram into a word document. Download a free trial here.
