Inspiration seems like an amazing way to form online diagrams and outlines easily and efficiently. It gives students a creative way to form a diagram. I love that they can create links to videos and make drop down notes on certain topics. The templates for everything also are great because give help, but still make students think through their subject matter. The students can use inspiration for all of their subjects. Inspiration would be great in my class because it would make breaking down literature easier on students. They could organize the notes on character summaries, plot summaries, and more in a way that would make it easy for them to understand on an individual level.
I think that journal blog entries and using the Inspiration technology for online outlines on plot summaries in literary analysis would be great. I think to have students create group assignments where each student is equally responsible for the outcome is a great way to get everyone involved. It's a little easier to observe three groups of six than to observe eighteen individuals. Students could post blog entries as journals or creative writing assignments and students could post responses to each other's entries, much like we are doing in this class.

I agree with everything you said, as a fellow future English teacher I plan on using this method in much the same way! Good job...
I also agree with you and I like your ideas about grouping students to get them all involved. I'm also going to teach English and I think Inspiration will make understanding literature so much easier for students who aren't passionate about it.
