Word, Publisher & Inspiration

This class will really make the classroom simpler when I do get into the field. The past two classes I have found so helpful to eliminate tedious steps and to save time through Word, Publisher, etc. I was so surprised at the amount of templates available. I do use Word frequently and once in a blue moon Publisher but never knew the extent of what was available.

I am glad that we started to learn Inspiration because I am currently taking N-6 Science and Methods and need to use Inspiration to create my concept map. I feel like that you need to take this class earlier in your track so that you have the tools to easily create and understand how to do things; especially when creating units-otherwise you are lost! What I like about Inspiration is that you can add graphics or just use the words and be able to create worksheets or quizzes for your classroom.

  1. That is exactly right! I didnt take this class before I took Place's or Doc's class. Making the concept wasn't easy but it wasn't hard. I did it first with post-it notes so I could move stuff around then transferred it to Microsoft Word. I think that if I had learned Inspiration before then, it would've take less time. Good luck on your unit and if you need help I have mine here at school and I got a good grade one it.
