"Inspiration 9 is familiar but improved. It takes information to a higher level, giving students the tools to analyze, synthesize and present their thoughts to others. It also helps linear learners create mind maps and visual learners create order. What a great way to bring different types of learners to shared understanding!"

"Students are often very creative, but they can’t make their ideas form a logical pattern. By using Inspiration, it’s easy to brainstorm and then, with one click of a button, they have an outline for a story, an essay or a simple research paper. This difficult job is reduced to an enjoyable task that they can accomplish with minimal assistance."
Sandy Sherwood
K-6 Technology Teacher
Appleby Elementary School
Marathon, NY

"Inspiration is easy to work with, but challenges my students to think logically and helps them improve their problem solving skills. This program is a great tool for both my teacher education students and their students."
