Week 3: Word
Inspiration is basically the same thing as power point. It does the same things If i were to use Inspiration in the classroom I would use it so the kids could use it as a guide outline for a paper or presentation they were planning to write. It would be a brainstorming process. The best type of writing actives to use in the class room in my opinion would be research papers. When do a writing assignment students can help each other by reading other papers and voicing their onion on it and giving advice and making corrections. A technology tool that can be used would blogging. Blogging gives students a way of submitting their opinion and thoughts and having others read it and make comments. I have had to teach my friend algebra before and i knew a lot of but after i sat down with her and explained it i felt like i understood it better also.
In conclusion, Inspiration would be a good tool to use in the class room because it could give the teachers and students an easier way to plan out a paper or presentation.

Inspiration also seems to be a great pre-writing tool, and it will help students give their presentations more structure... :)
