Inspiration: Cool tool for the classroom

So this week while Dr. Waters was in Florida getting a suntan (lucky her since it snowed here). We messed around with Inspiration/Kidspiration. I found this program to be really interesting. It is a really useful tool that could be used in the classroom to help enhance a student's learning.
I first explored the diagram section of the program. You could use this to make a tree or web diagram. These features make it really easy to make a diagram and you can use it for really practical purposes. You could use the tree diagram to show family relations (perhaps you could use this in a history class to show the relations of the royal family of England as you discuss the events that happened in each of their reigns).
You could use a web diagram to show a food web for a biology class. They have clip art that would make the diagram interesting or you could use the web diagram function to show students how to make their own webs perhaps as a tool used in writing papers (or at least getting ideas down before you start a paper. And in both webs you can use hyperlinks to further enhance their learning by linking them to interactive or educational websites.
Then there is the outline function. I found that this was a very. very useful feature. You could use this when a teacher is preparing an outline for what they will be teaching in class that day. It could be very useful in conjunction with a slide show that will be shown in class. You can also include the diagram you made in the other feature and transfer it to your notes. And again there is the hyperlink feature that allows teachers to hyperlink to additional material. There is a notes feature that you can use to add notes to yourself that may help a teacher to stress a certain point in the lecture. There is several other basic features like a spell check. The one thing I didn't like about the outline feature is that it doesn't have as many features as it does in like a word processing document which also has an outline feature.
