Educators around the world are incorporating Inspiration®'s visual learning methodologies across the curriculum in English, humanities, science and more. Find examples and resources to get started integrating Inspiration into your classroom!
English Inspiration helps students bridge the gap between visual and verbal modes of expression as they brainstorm, draft and revise their writing as in this Macbeth diagram. Students simply switch to Outline View to begin writing an essay. A definition web like Serendipity above gives students a deeper understanding of new vocabulary words or concepts, while comparing books or individuals, such as this Charlotte Brontë and Jane Eyre comparison, strengthens students' analytical skills.
More English examples: Harry Potter character analysis
Humanities In humanities classes, Inspiration® helps students explore historical people and events, such as Coal Mining in 19th Century Britain, as well as understand cause and effect relationships as in the Causes of the French Revolution. Students can also use Inspiration to organise and present research as in Southwest Asian Agriculture below.
Landforms of Africa
Science Use Inspiration® in science to deepen students' understanding of concepts, as in Chemical and Physical Changes below. Creating a concept map such as Newton's Laws of Motion helps students learn new information and build on their existing body of knowledge as they recognise relationships between components. Students use Inspiration to visually explore complex processes like the Nitrogen Cycle. Mind mapping in Inspiration provides a framework to help students organise and recall information whilst allowing for easy editing, as in this Primates mind map. More science examples: Skeletal System
Thinking and Planning Inspiration makes planning easy and productive, with a visual approach to brainstorming and organising for both teachers and students.
Teachers create their own templates or use one of the 60+ Inspiration templates and examples to plan lessons and curriculum, organise collaborative projects for students and develop classroom activities, such as the Flat Stanley reading unit. The Template Wizard gives teachers step-by-step help to create customised visual learning activities to support any curricular area. More thinking and planning examples: World War I Study Guide
