Inspiration.

Inspiration is a powerful way for students to reach high levels of cognition performance. 

It's used as a learning and teaching technique and visually illustrates the relationships between concepts and ideas. Concepts are linked by words and phrases that explain the connection between the ideas, and helps students organize thoughts to further understand information and discover new relationships. The many benefits of using Inspiration software are:

  • Helps students brainstorm and generate new ideas
  • Encourages students to discover new concepts and the propositions that connect them
  • Enables students to gain enhance knowledge of any topic and evaluate the information
In my future classroom, I will use Inspiration in a variety ways. My favorite way of using Inspiration is to create concept maps over stories that the class is reading or studying. The students can have fun and express their creativity. They also simultaneously learn skills that are useful in their future and are inspired to be creative. Inspiration can be used to teach numerous literary works throughout the school year, and can even be used to teach writing. Inspiration's potential in the English classroom is limitless.

An example of the way Inspiration can be used is to create a basic concept map of J.K Rowling's character Harry Potter
