Inspiration in the Classroom

Inspiration® by Inspiration Software, Inc.

  • Use Inspiration as you model portfolio pieces for your students and then allow them access to Inspiration as they plan their portfolio pieces.

  • Inspiration can be used during the Prewriting, Writing, and possibly even the Revision stages of the Writing Process.

  • The software allows users to move back and forth very easily between a diagram view and an outline view that contains the same information.

  • Some students may work best in organizing their thoughts in the diagram view and others in the outline view.

  • Whichever way they get there, the end result of an outline allows students to move quickly to the Writing stage.

  •  Revisions can also be made for broad topics and subtopics if the student experiences difficulty in the flow of the writing.
