Day 5: Visual Learning and Inspiration Software

Your understanding of learning theory and technology integration is really starting to come together. You are learning that technology is not used in K-12 classrooms just to make learning more fun. Technology tools can be used in conjunction with good teaching strategies to address various learning styles and student needs.

Today we will be looking at visual learning software -- Inspiration and Kidspiration. Both tools allow PreK-12 students to see a concept and its connecting themes and ideas. You'll create two activities for your subject area/grade level -- one for a whole group lesson and one for a small group or individual lesson. You'll need to find out more information about Kidspiration and Inspiration software and read more about the Kidspiration and Inspiration assignment before getting started on your project.

The Inspiration/Kidspiration project is due Friday, June 17 at the beginning of class.
