In this article, Green explains how graphic organizer software can help support the needs of all students learning curriculum. Green is a special education teacher who uses a program in the software called Inspiration. The program "… gives you a visual representation of concepts and their relationships by linking ideas, pictures, symbols, and text. It provides different colors, shapes, fonts, and patterns to group and classify words, ideas, and concepts". Student can use this as a brainstorming technique for projects or papers. This program can also help students who have a vision disability.
For visual learners, or any student with a learning disability I see this software being very useful. I think that it gives children who are struggling a boost of confidence that they might be lacking. It excites children that are not motivated to learn because they feel inadequate. In giving them the motivation they need, it will produce successful academic results within the future.
(Q1): What kind of learner are you, do you feel like this program would be useful?
(A1): I am a visual learner, so for me this program could’ve definitely been useful! I think if we had even half of the resources back when I was growing up that we do now, things would’ve been much more exciting!
(Q2): What can you relate this to?
(A2): When I was younger we used to use the pen and paper brain storming techniques to write our papers. We used to jot down our ideas in a bubble format, using critical thinking. But I think that if we had this application to work with, using pictures and technology, we could have expanded our thoughts a little further.
