I think inspiration software is a useful tool that allows students to brainstorm and collect ideas. I see some useful lesson plans and functions to help me teach. However I cannot see trainang my students to use this program when they might only use it once or ttwice in my class. This program seems to be useful for and English or history class, but i am having trouble tring to envision using this software in an Agriculture class, where there is alot of hands on activities and class room dicussion. This tool could be apllied in my class if it were well known on campus. i just could not see putting the investment of a couple of class days used training to only use it a couple times.
I believe that brainstorming is a form of writing that has benefited most from technology. I see how this program has an excellent brainstorming function that could be helpful once a student gets used to the ideas.
I think students cam help each other in writing by brainstorming in groups and sharing ideas. The more i see a blog used in a class, the more i become adapted to its ideas. i think a blog is an excellent way for students to communicate after the school day is over. this allows them to share ideas an feed back while workin on projects at home.

I agree with your ideas I am also going to be an Ag Teacher. Sabrina
ReplyDeleteI am going to be an English teacher and like you said, this will be great for me. Although you are majoring in Ag, you may still require your students to write a paper or two. You could visit this site to get helpful strategies to guide your students in the right direction. As a teacher, this would be helpful and less stressful on you if your students knew the correct way to write. No one likes reading a horrible written paper, even an Ag teacher!
ReplyDeleteI agree that this program may not be to useful in classes where the learning is more hands on. I am going to be a physical education teacher and i to don't see the use for it.
ReplyDeletei agree when brainstorming in groups students tend to come up with great ideas from one another. As you stated this software can only be helpful in English, history, or even science, But it will be good thing to have for them particular courses.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your blog post. This software would help trememdously with lesson plans. I also agree with Jerrica that I think you could make this software work for your Ag class. There are probably some concepts that could be broken down by a chart or diagram. I agree that students getting together to brainstorm is very beneficial, and blogs are a great form of communication.
ReplyDeleteI like the whole brainstorming idea but i myself plan on teaching health/p.e teacher so i wont be using all that much as well.
