Today I had the chance to review the website for Inspiration Software which offers many graphic organizers, concept maps, mind maps, webbing, and outlining. It offers over 100 templates of graphic organizers. All information can be supplemented by symbols and/or the colors, font style, and font size can be altered (along with many other features).
This software is really suited for a visual learner and can also be beneficial for students who have difficulty writing a lot. It is a great way for students to organize information prior to writing a paper or creating a presentation. Another use of this software is to 'show what you know'; students could use the graphic organizers or outlining to present the information that they know.
The software seems relatively easy to use, especially for the many students who are tech savvy these days. It really just seems as though the user needs to play around with the software in order to get the hang of all the options.
The prices for this resource varies. It can be purchased as an app on the iPad for $10-$15. A computer download of the software can be purchased for $24-$95. Another option is the package, where the single license is $40 and a license for 20 computers is $640. Overall I wouldn't consider this to be an insanely expensive item, especially with the iPad app option.
