1. Is Inspiration something you would invest in for your classroom? List at least 10 ideas in your content areas where you could incorporate it- Include uses as a productivity tool as well as an instructional tool.
Inspiration is definitely something that I would invest in for my classroom. I think it useful for a teacher organization and will benefit students. I could incorporate Inspiration into my class room in many ways. Some ways that I could incorporate Inspiration as a productivity and instructional tool are:
1 Concept Maps.
2 Outlines.
3 Showing pictures that relate to concepts. For lower elementary.
4 Create diagrams or other graphic organizers.
5 Making quizzes and tests .
6 Students could use this software to create their own concept maps, outlines, or visual reports. This would help me do make sure that they understand the concept.
7 Study guides for students.
8 Visual aid for students who are struggling with a concept.
9 To help introduce a new concept in an organized way.
10 To help the students compare and contrast different ideas or concepts.
2. What are your favorite Web Resources we covered in class? Which do you think you would use the most why and how? Be specific.
I like a lot of the resources that we covered in class. My favorite resource was United Streaming. This is a not only a great resource for teachers and parents, but will also be beneficial for students. I could see myself using United Streaming the most because of all of its great attributes. This website has Videos on many subjects and content areas. Also many of the videos have detailed lesson plans that can be used with them. Along with the videos and lesson plans the website also provides a calendar that can be used for the classroom.
Some of my other favorite web resources were Rubistar, Illuminations, and Library Curriculum. Rubistar provides a great template for grading rubrics, and is a great graphic organizer. I like illuminations because it provides lesson plans organized by grade level and standard. I also like the activities that they provide. The Albright College library curriculum resource proves great resources for different content areas and lesson plans.
