It seems like this would be a very good program to help students brainstorm for their assignments. While this is the case, for the most part it would not be the most useful of software for my future classrooms (choral music.) At the same time, it could be used to have the choral officers help me to brainstorm for ways to raise funds for the program or to help them write papers of their own over musical topics.
Once again, not much writing will come up during Choral rehearsals, but in the situation where the students need to collaborate to produce some ideas, simply using a mutual forum would work well to help them relate their opinions to each other with relative neutrality.
If only plagiarism were not a problem students could also post their written assignments to their blogs for their peers to give feedback as comments. Simply emailing their papers to each other could also prove problematic. Simply put, this won't come up for me in the future unless I am teaching at a school which offers some form of a music history course.

I fully agree with your view point. I also am having a hard time seeing how I can use this in an Agriculture Class. I do see some ways i can teach off this material but not make my students use it effectively
ReplyDeleteI agree it would be hard to use this in a music class. I am going to be an Ag Teacher and i do nat see much use coming from this program. Sabrina
ReplyDeleteI agree this will not be fully functional in music class but can use in classes such as history.
ReplyDeleteI also agree in a music class there would not be much use. I am going to teach physical education and it is hands on like music is.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, like we are all saying I really do not see any harm in using this new program. It seems really easy to navigate and very understandable.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be a great idea for students to brainstorm and to help one another with thier editing of their paper. Im going to be a math teacher so i guess i could implement this program by having my class do a resaerch paper on a mathmatician. Then emial it to a class mate for some peer review.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Inspiration is a very good program and i think it would be great for student to use the inspiration software for brainstorming.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Inspiration program is a good program for helping students brainstorm. I also can see how it is hard for the music classes
