Kidspiration

After downloading the free trial on kidspiration, I was impressed to see how beneficial this learning tool can be for students. Students are able to create these graphic organizers as a visual way to help them learn. It also gives them confidence as they learn to organize information and recognize the connection between words and their meanings. They are also able to express and share their thoughts through the visualization.

I found Kidspiration to be both student and teacher friendly. It aids teachers in helping them to structure and organize their information and allows students to develop their skills in math, writing, and reading.

  1. I agree. It definitely helps to improve organization and "neatness" for both students and teachers alike. Inspiration definitely appeals to the visual learner in a different way.

    It also keeps them at a computer for "productive" reasons since they're on it so much to begin with! :)
