Journal #6A

1. I liked using Inspiration. It took a little time for me to understand how to create everything, but once I figured it out, it was a fun site to explore. It is a relatively easy site and is something I think students would enjoy working with.
2. This would be a great tool to use for story mapping. Rather than just having students create their story map on paper, they could use Inspiration to creatively come up with their ideas, attaching graphics to help them with their constructions. I think it's something they could have a lot of fun with.
3. I didn't use Atomic Learning for Inspiration. Truthfully I am horrible with computers and it was just another site to add to my confusion. I'm sure students would have fun exploring it and if I understood how it worked, I would implement it in my classroom. For me to understand technology, not only do I need step by step instructions, but I also need someone to actually physically guide me through. Total frustration!
