Day 26 - Inspiration/Kidspiration 2

Inspiration/Kidspiration
Today we are going to walk you through the rubrics and details for this project. After the introduction of Inspiration/Kidspiration after Wednesday's class, I expect that you should have an idea on content/curriculum standards to be addressed in this project. We learned to use Inspiration from last session. For those who are going to use Kidspiration (Grade K through Grade 5), please be noted that the interface of Kidspiration is quite similar to that of Inspiration. You should feel comfortable with using Kispiration as you do with Inspiration. In today’s class, you will mainly work on your project. I will assist you with any of your technical problems.
If you can't finish the project at our lab, you can also go to Inspiration website to download 30 day free trial version.

For the Monday (March 19) after Spring Break:
1. We are going to have a “Web Resources” session. In this session, you are going to learn how to evaluate web resources and where to find K-12 resources from web. Nadine Cohen, a UGA librarian is going to give us a lecture. This session will be particularly helpful for your next project, WebQuest. Please take this learning experience seriously. Since Nadine and I haven’t decided where to meet for this session, I will announce it on our Blog before March 19. Please pay particularly attention to the announcement of the location on the Blog. If you go to the wrong location and miss the class, you will be counted toward absence.
2. The Inspiration/Kidspiration project will be due at the beginning of March 21. If you can’t finish it before Spring Break, make sure you spare small portion of your time during Spring Break to complete it.
3. Have a GREAT and SAFE Spring Break!!
