This week in class we learned about a site called inspiration and its internet brother webspiration. We also learned a lot about what photos we can legally use on the internet and that there are a lot of legal photos that we can use on Flickr.
Inspiration is a tool that is made for concept mapping but it can do so much more than that. Inspiration can help you with many projects in school and maybe can even take the job of powerpoint in the classrooms. Inspiration allows you to have many topics on a subject and many topics on those topics if that makes sense. You can add photos, videos, and even sound to any topic that you want. This is a great tool if you need to present something in a professional manner and it is also a very easy tool to use.
Webspiration is a site that is made by the same company that made inspiration. Webspiration can do the same thing as inspiration to an extent but it is a free version and is open to anyone that has an internet connection. This is a great way to have a classroom work on projects together because you can also send it to other people so that they can make changes to it just like on google docs.
This week we learned that it is illegal to use photos that were found on google. There are legal photos on the internet. Legal photos can be found on Flickr. All you need to do is go to creative commons and see what rights you have to change or use that photo.
