Webspiration

I was out checking some posts by Jim Gates at http://tipline.blogspot.com/ (he always has something neat to show, be sure to subscribe to his blog as well), and I found this post about Webspiration. It sparked my interests for a few reasons. First, my very first assignment for my very first real world job was to familiarize myself completely with Inspiration Software, because I was going to train on it. I remember taking my laptop with it installed and heading for a vacation with my Mom to Martha's Vineyard. I learned and played with Inspiration for two weeks before my first actual day on the job. The program is great and I really enjoyed training on it, and later using it with my students and for some of my own projects. Second, I'm currently taking an Educational Product and Program Evaluation Course, and I had to conduct a product evaluation. I evaluated Inspiration 8 Software for the course. '

I've been playing around in Webspiration, Inspiration but online, today and think you should give it a try. Jim states that this version allows kids to collaborate on the same document, which is nice because most schools are using Inspiration and are already familiar with its layout.
