Inspiration!

This week we have been learning how to work with programs like Inspiration. This diagramming software was very user friendly and is an important tool for creating diagrams, maps, and webs for students and teachers. It is typically used by students grade 6-12 and it allows them incorporate visual learning into their curriculum. I would highly recommend trying this software. Inspiration Software, Inc. does offer a free trial edition on their official website: http://www.inspiration.com/

I chose to do a web on famous Surrealist artists. The surrealist movement is one of my favorites, and I think one of the best ways of discovering an art movement is by discovering its representatives. The only thing I had trouble with was getting the footer (my textbook source) to show up on the GIF image of my web (pictured above). I had a good time discovering Inspiration, and I'm pretty sure I will be giving it another go in my future teaching career.
