Inspiration

It's a new software program that teachers can use in the classroom with students to help them visualize ideas, concepts, and relationships of what they are learning from their reading. It also helps them organize ideas and research when doing projects.

Students can create graphic organizers to analyze and evaluate information and brainstorm through a tool called Rapidfire. They can search symbol collections to find images to represent any concept and insert and play multimedia files.

teachers can download for a free 30-day trial. I didn't do it yet, but I probably should do it to test it out further because the website so far just gives you a superficial summary of it and how it is used.

to be continued in the following edition.....
