In an ongoing discussion with a colleague, on how we can help our school adapt to using more technology to create in depth learning experiences, we came across webspiration. Webspiration is a software option offered by Inspiration, a program known for its concept map and outline creations. I think teachers will be most open to using more technology in lessons if they are all introduced to the same resources. That way they can more easily access tech support from their colleagues and collaborate on lessons. I embedded the tutorial video but I am curious to see if anyone has used webspiration, either for a class or with their class. If so, did you like it? Was it easy to navigate? What age group do you think it seemed best aligned to? Or just any other feedback you may have.
Hi Shannon,
ReplyDeleteI used both Inspiration and Kidspiration when they were available as software. We still might have the software installed in our computer lab. Both were outstanding software, and I imagine the web-based version is even better. Now, students can use the tool without needing the software. The site also now offers considerable management features for a school adopting it across grades.
I wonder if there is a fee for schools to use the tool school-wide and if there is a free version that teachers can try out with students.
Let us know in class.
