Outlines, idea maps, and storyboards are a great tool for organizing future projects. These concepts are helpful when trying to map out ideas and themes, especially when it is difficult to find places for these topics. Outlines assist in planning the basic topics. Idea maps follow outlines, and they are used to provide context and interact with content. Storyboards categorize all of the information gathered. Basically, all of these tools are used for ultimate organization. Inspiration and similar programs can be used for all of these techniques.
Encouraging students to use outlines, idea maps, and storyboards can benefit them in multiple ways. Chapter 7 states, “The organization and sophistication of the final project is a reflection of the planning that goes into it.” These planning tools will most likely be useful for my students throughout their entire educational career, so I would highly encourage my students to learn how to utilize these tools. In the work force, a student of mine might have to create a presentation for his/her boss. This is where organization will come in handy!
Learning how to use Inspiration has definitely opened up my eyes to new educational programs. MS Word is a standard program that is used every day, so when I saw Inspiration, a whole new world opened up! This program is the ultimate planning and organizing tool. My future students will definitely be learning how to use this program, because it is highly beneficial when creating new projects.
