Ch.4-5 & Inspiration

The Inspiration software seems like a tool for students to use when they are writing papers or doing projects. In the classroom, I would definitely encourage my students to use this to help with brainstorming and outlines. From the tour, it appears to be the best way that I know of to organize thoughts and ideas.

When I was in high school, I greatly benefited from the feedback that I received from peers on my papers. The SWoRD system is a good way for students to be able to provide and receive feedback from fellow students. I think it is a good idea because teachers don't always have the time give every student in all of their classes feedback on papers. I think that teaching a particular topic requires you to get to know the topic to a much greater extent than before you teach it. The first time I taught anything was for a history project in high school. By the end I knew much more than I previously did.
