Inspiration

I really enjoyed the inspiration I did. I like that you can add pictures and shapes to whatever content your working on. I think students who have IEPSs and 504 plans would benefit from this kind of visual.

Having students make their own visuals in learning is also helpful. Students will remember much better if they do it themselves.  They could use their own colors, text, shapes, and how they feel it all connects to the main topic.  Students can print the imagine out and use it as a reference for a quiz or test. I once did a personality test with 5th graders and found most students to be visual learners. So I tried to make sure I made more visuals then talking at them.  

I don't like to be talked at either. Show me visuals and I will remember more. I also believe in hands on experience with myself and students. I have a hard time remembering everything a person tells me to do, if they showed me what they wanted. I am more then willing to catch on.  

 Example, It is like when you learn a job, the trainer needs to show you what to do.  Not have you read a book then go figure it out. I think school should be more hands on then sitting at a desk. Students want to be imersed in their leaning.  Using the inspiration I bet they would remember the steps to a math problem.  Showing is better then talking at them.
