week 9 - inspiration
This week i found to be very interesting, as i had never heard of the program ‘inspiration’, let alome have an understadning of how to use it effectively. At first i found the progam not be as useful as i had first hoped, as i saw other ways in which i was familiar with in producing effective diagrams, flow charts and mind maps, by using the ‘word’ program. However once i had a clear understanding as to how to use it and how to make these types of works more effective and interesting, i was very impressed by the simplisity of the program for the user and also for the viewer. The use of images as captions is also another interactive and engaging way this program uses to hold students attention, and allow them to remain focussed and on task.
In classroom environments, the program will assist students in more than just increasing the ways computers can be used, instead it provides a simple method of recording complex information, into a logical manner which is easy to read and comprehend.
Overall, i have changed my mind about this program, and by using it to create my personal diagram on smartboards, i have sen just how easy the layout used by the program is to read and understand.
