Inspiration is software used to create graphic organizers, like visual concept mapping. This tool can help students with different ability levels to organize their thoughts and present material to show understanding of a content area. A student with a strong visual learning style can greatly benefit from this program. I used the software to create a Concept Map about the main ideas on Dexter’s eTip article. First, I started with the title. Second, I learned how to link the information in ways that will make sense to a viewer. The presentation had to be sequential and related. This process helped me to organize my thoughts step by step, from the small picture to the big picture and then to the small picture again. It forced me to review the information in both ways what can visually represent the real thinking process. Then, once the ideas were organized, I worked in the presentation and the final details. It was not as difficult as Photo Shop. The most difficult part was to remember to save it as a jpg and using the unfamiliar Mac tools instead the PC tools to finalize it.
