PORTLAND, OR — October 18, 2004
Inspiration Software^®, Inc. was honored with a 2004 Seal of Approval from Scholastic’s Instructor magazine for its recently released visual learning tool, Inspiration for Palm OS. Inspiration for Palm OS, which made its debut on May 12, combines the power of visual learning with the natural ease of handheld computers. With Inspiration for Palm OS, students and teachers can use the stylus to create graphic organizers by sketching symbols and arranging thoughts directly on the screen. The integrated outline view allows students to create a solid foundation for their writing. To complete a project, students can transfer to a handheld word processor, sync their handheld device to a desktop computer or beam to a printer.

Scholastic invites dozens of teacher-reviewers each summer to evaluate new classroom-ready materials from education companies all around the country in preparation for the upcoming school year. Those products that receive the Seal of Approval are their chosen favorites. The complete list can be seen in Best of 2004 article published in the October edition of Instructor magazine, or online at http://teacher.scholastic.com/
