Inspiration^® makes planning easy and productive, with a visual approach to brainstorming and organizing for both teachers and students.

Teacher Planning
Inspiration is used to plan class projects, activities, lessons and units like the Flat Stanley language arts unit. Visual diagrams make it easy to understand and share a process, such as Creating a WebQuest. The new Template Wizard gives teachers step-by-step help to create customized visual learning activities to support any curricular area.
