I was very surprised to hear bout the inpiration program on windows and other computer programs. I had never heard of it before. I think that it is an excellent way and easier way for students to organize data for projects assigned to them in class. It is also an excellent tool to teach students how to understand and use diagrams. Teachers can utilize this program to make their own personal data for students to observe. I think that so often teachers rely on verbal communication and oral teaching skills, but by using this program teachers will use a more visual learning setting, which may be very beneficial to the students. If they are visual learners they are more likely to remember what they saw rather than what they hear. In addtion, some students understand better if they are show how something works rather than just hearing it orally. I think that this program would be a perfect way to implement visual learning and to effectively teach students how to record research data including showing diagrams and charts to show comparison.
I agree with you on the benefits of using inspiration to enchance and compliment oral teaching. I know I learn much better when i see stuff or when i can get hands on.
