re: Inspiration

Carol,
   Our teachers have this on their classroom computers and I don't
know exactly all the ways they use it.  In the library, students we
work with use it to keep track of characters in novels when they are
having trouble keeping track of everyone.  They enter the
character's name and surround it with key info.  They then print
and keep the sheet or sheets in their book.  Many of them leave
the sheets in the books in case the next reader would want to use
it.  It's extremely easy to use, motivational for kids and we have
both Inspirations and Kid's Inspirations.  I've never been aware of
the need for tech support.

We have also used it when teaching lessons on genres or other
literary elements.  Students put the topic in the center and
surround it with the key points about the topic.  They print and keep
it in their folders.
