Inspiration & Power Point

As a teacher you are constantly looking for resources and materials to help you in your teaching. When I was in 4th grade I remember the grueling process of learning how to do outlines. Another area that I had an enormously hard time was with making my brain storming into an outline. I have never been a fan of brainstorming because I have never been able to use it. With Inspiration I was able to finally see how my brainstorming ideas became an outline. I can definitely see how this tool would help students in brainstorming and then taking their ideas and creating an outline. I also think that power point is a wonderful visual aid. I am not as sold on it as the Inspiration program.

I so agree with you! In fact I watched my son last year in 5th grade struggle with forming an outline and putting it all together. I wish we would have had Inspiration then!
