I love this. I could use the tools in Kidspiration for showing students manipulatives. I love the pre-made templates and activities. This would be perfect for third grade into and inspiration for higher level kids. I am so excited to do this with my kids. This tool is awesome!!!

Amazing, as usual!! I really liked the kidspiration Math/science template tools. I have a couple kids that could use a visual help with regrouping. I am excited to be able to use this with them!

love the kidspiration- esp. the reading/writing activities- could use for phonemic awareness activities. The math view could be used for basic concepts and giving/listening to directions with the primary shapes- love this

Great ideas already in the template view. For our special eddies this is wonderful. Believe me, Kidspiration can work well with our upper grades as well. Graphic Organizers are used as accommodations for our kids all the time. Both applications are wonderful for class projects, etc.

I love this! I liked learning some of the shortcuts to creating a map on Inspiration. I also liked it transferring to a Word Document. I also liked the Venn Diagram in Kidspiration and the transference to word there, too! Thanks!

I really like the Inspirations tool. I think this is a neat way to diagram a story with the class or create an easy interactive power point. I was thinking about using this with social studies as we discuss cause and effects in social studies. This could be used as a neat brainstorm in class, and then can have other additions by individual students to jazz up a web. I would love to play around with inspiration more. Regarding kidspirations, I wish it included some interactive math lessons for the higher grades, but at least there is other computer programs and online interactive manipulatives.

Kidspiration is so perfect for my first graders. I could get a lot of learning mileage with this program. My students will enjoy actively manipulating all the tools. Thanks for a great class!
