Inspiration comments assignment

I thought, from the inspiration quick tour, this would've been great and something to have when i was in grade school. Inspiration seems like a neat fun tool to use. It interested me especially because you didn't have to do a diagram and an out line it did both for you. I could use inspiration in my class room to show students how you can transition from a diagram or little notes all over paper to and organized outline of your findings. I would want to use it because so much time wouldn't be spent writing down the same things over and over, more time could be dedicated to the actual study of the subject.

I believe research over a variety of topics would have use for technology in my class room. I also feel creative writing could be explored through technology. For example, letting the students pick a topic of interest and how they want to present a visual along with thier written findings. As a student, I know how intimidating it can be to have some professional editing your paper. I feel student revision builds confidence for the revisor and the person that is receiving revisions. The notes don't seem as far fetched and over the top as it can be with the teacher. technology tools for one, may help to keep the editing from another more positive. seeing someone scratch out stuff and rewrite over your original writing can come off as negative. I know I like it better if someone would highlight my mistake and put a note to the side. with inspration this would be easy to do.

I think blogs are very interesting tools and ways of
communication. I think using a blog can be educational,
entertaining, or just something to do. For education I think
blogs open up communication between student and teacher.
Only so much can be discussed during class time and I know
sometimes I have trouble gathering my thought on the spot.
Blogs give students time to organize their thoughts and be
expressive without having to deal with people’s facial
expression or body language, which can be discouraging or
negative. If nothing else, blogs can help people verbally
share. I don’t think it is a waste of time because, today
is all about technology and computers. Students need to be
able to effectively navigate and express themselves through
different avenues on the web. Blogs are a great and simple
idea for that.


The ideas in ch. 6 seem to focus mainly on communication,
teaching, and learning between students through the
internet. I could see myself having my students set up
“wiki” accounts and present their research like that
instead of just having them put it on paper, where I would
be the only one the information is shared with. I think it
would improve the efforts put forth in research if you knew
everybody in the world could read your research findings.
