Inspired Learning Community

Elections bombard not only potential voters with information about the competing candidates, but also our students. We have developed more new resources to help students use the power of visual learning to help them better compare the candidates and their positions on the issues to decide who would be the best choice. There is a new Inspiration template to help students compare any two contemporary or historical political candidates, such as those running for president.

View our recent webcasts about using InspireData in your Science and Social Studies curriculum!

Inspiration Software recently presented new educational webcasts in April and May which explore how InspireData is used to teach Science and Social Studies in the classroom. Both 45 minute presentations were well-attended by teachers, technology and training specialists, administrators and university faculty.

On February 25, 2008, we announced the 25 talented educators who will receive the 2007-2008 Inspired Teacher Scholarships for Visual Learning. The scholarships recognize educators' "Best Projects" using Inspiration Software's visual learning software tools.

The top honor for "Best Overall Visual Learning Project" scholarship award goes to Kathie Thuillez, a sixth grade social studies teacher at Fort Settlement Middle School in Sugar Land, Texas.

"Very cool."
"The best thing I saw at FETC."
"Brilliant."

Those are just some of the responses we heard from educators at the Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC) in Orlando after they saw a demo of Kidspiration® 3! Thousands of teachers visited our booth and saw the exciting new ways that Kidspiration 3 supports visual learning across the curriculum. [+]
