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 lessons, units, projects, and class activities like the Charleston Trip Plan. The new Template Wizard gives teachers step-by-step help to create customized visual learning activities to support any curriculum area.

Student Planning
Students learn to clarify thinking, brainstorm, and organize with Inspiration. They can then plan speeches and class presentations like the Luna Moth. After completing a visual plan, students can switch to Outline View to add information and research. A checklist feature helps students to complete tasks like the Amazon Rainforest, a research paper plan.
