Prior to watching the video I had never seen inspiration used. I feel that this is a fantastic tool to use for students that learn better with visual guides. I think that inspiration could help aide students to be more productive and independent in their work.
Any writing assignment could utilize inspiration among other technologies. Namely research writing assignments allow students to explore the web and online databases and get comfortable doing so.
Depending on what grade/age level your students are will determine if peer support and review is applicable, but for the most part I feel that should mainly be the instructors duty in any classes prior to university. I think the teacher should be deciding what a high quality review is to help the students build a more solid foundation to thier writing or whatever task it is they are doing.

Yes. I agree. Inspiration seems like the perfect tool for students to use when they are completing a research project. It allows them the oppurtunity to lay out visually the concepts for their research project and then it allows the student to use the map to highlight comparisions used in the paper because in the program students can create charts and maps to showcase the data they researched.
ReplyDeleteI also think that the poetry forge program is good way to help students understand and create their own poems. I think that so many times students think that if their poem does not rhyme then it is not a poem, but I feel like this program will students overcome this misconception about poetry and it will help aid teachers in teaching students poetry and figurative language.
i agree with you on the inspiration program. it is a lot better when everything is visual to a student.It lays it out so perfect that the student has no choice but to be successful.There are also programs on campus or at highscools that can open up feed back using technology. Blogs or e college could be good ways as well. outside the teachers efforts
