I found a review of some educatonal software the other day, it's on a product called Inspiration, http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/tech/tech124.shtml. It is basically a program that makes it very easy for students to place their thoughts on to a computer, and it can be placed in many different forms like venn diagrams, idea webs, ect... There are a few questions that I have based on what the reveiw gave me, firstly I get where it is coming from but I also feel that it is using the technology for technology's sake, I feel that doing the same operations by hand would be just as fast and effective, however if there was a way to translate the ideas that you placed in the program and it comes out with a way to best organize them into a paper or slideshow then I can see it really working out very well. The fortunant thing that I can use it for a month free of charge and if I like it and all of my questions would be answered, so I feel that I like this product.
