Inspiration is definitely something that I would invest in. I know that I have used it to create a concept map for a unit and have also made an outline for a unit. Inspiration is fairly simple to use, so my students would be able to go onto it and create concept maps and outlines for different projects in all the different subject areas. The ability to add pictures easily makes the concept map portion of the program more attractive to the teacher, the students, and the parents. Using inspiration in the classroom, I could whole group teach and outline the key components of the lesson that I want the student's to pay particular attention to. Inspiration can also be used as a review tool after a unit.
I think that all of the Web Resources that we have used so far in this class are good and very beneficial to future teachers. One of the web resources that I like the most, however, is diigo. I like that I am able to bookmark many different sites and can access those sites from any device that has internet capability. It is also nice how you are able to follow other people's pages and see what types of sites they have tagged for new ideas.
Another good web resource that has a lot of practical uses for a teachers is the united streaming website. This resource is especially helpful to me now as I am taking the science method class and can now incorporate it into my lessons.
