week 3

In the inspiration video i found out some really cool ways to make the classroom a much easier place to work. The first thing that comes to mind is a english or history class that has to write a paper but the student is brain locked on a topic. Inspiration helps you find ideas, organize them and elaborate off them. I think its really neat how by the click of a mouse on a button you can come up with a whole outline. the thing that intrest me the most was how it can take a diagram and turn it into a outline. It makes it much easier to write papers, reports etc. I wish i had this in highschool.

I think the best writing activity that makes the best use of technology is powerpoint and inspiration. Powerpoint goes in handy with presentations and such. You can get in and put down information or pictures of what you researched or wrote about. I would definately use inspiration as a form of technology in a english class setting or history. Book reports at lower grade levels and papers at higher levels. I think using e college and blogs are good ways to have peer feedback. I am also sure there are other was in the tech world to get the feedback but those two ways i can see it being easy to interact and give feedback through students
