Digital Diagrams

We transition from IWB's to a different topic this week. The topic for  this week the is digital diagram. I have seen digital diagrams online before, and actually made a diagram that was very similar in style using tools on Microsoft Word. This was my first introduction to the application Inspiration that is used to create digital diagrams, as well as its counterpart that is aimed at young children, Kidspiration.


When my professor began showing us how to use Inspiration I was surprised by how it looked. This application was not nearly as complex, in my opinion, as say Active Inspire.  A definite perk of this simple style was that it was easy to navigate. Even easier to navigate was its version for children, Kidspiration. This application had just the the very basic tools and a couple images.

Having knowledge of how to create digital diagrams is something that will be helpful for me in the future as a teachers. There are some many different that I could see it being used in a classroom! (However, I do not see myself using Kidspiration.)
