Inspiration Diagram

Once I figured out where everything was and how to use it properly, Inspiration was easy to maneuver around.  I like how we learned to make a diagram and teachers can teach their students how to make one as well for a project instead of the teacher making one.  It would take some time for a teacher to make one and finding the time may be hard.  But perhaps the more one uses Inspiration the easier and faster one would be to make different diagrams.  I would definitely use Inspiration in the classroom to have different representations of things in different subjects.  I would also incorporate it into my smartboard so that the students could fill in the blanks or interact with the diagrams.

I have been doing really well with the new things that I we have learned in this class.  I have learned new terminology and ways to utilize technology within the classroom.  I really like the inquiry based activities and knowing how to properly critique a website to see if it is good enough to use in a classroom.  I always thought that uploading, sharing, making presentations, and slideshows would be difficult to do.  However, it is not and I am glad that I know this because I now know how to do it and how easy it is.  I believe I am going to get my family on to Google to upload pictures, videos, and share with each other so that we can keep in touch.  I am excited to see what we learn next in our second half of our class. I hope to learn how to use more websites and things on the web that I do not know how to use.
