Kidspiration!

Today we learned about inspiration/kidspiration. Inside these tools you can create diagrams for your students, or allow them to create one on their own. I chose to do my diagram on the five senses. I thought this was appropriate because I will be teaching and talking about the five senses in the future. I learned how to add clip art pictures so the children have a visual picture that went along with the words. I also added a hyperlink under the main title for the kids to click on and learn more information about the five senses. I used arrows in my diagram for the children to be able to see what connects to what. (You see with your eyes, and not your ears.) I also included two informative boxes that contained more information on two of the senses. In the top corner I added which NETS-S and Tennessee State Curriculum the five senses best fit with. Overall, I loved using kidspiration. I thought it was simple to create, however, I think it may be a little too advanced for the kids I will be teaching to use. If I were to do this another time, I would chose another area/subject to teach, such as the four seasons or animal habitats. I think it is a great tool that I will use in my future classes to teach different subjects to the children. Below you will see the diagram I made today!
