Our laptops and school computers have a program called "Inspiration" (and there is also a "Kidspiration") that can be used for concept mapping. The following two sites have ideas on how these programs can be integrated into your lessons:

About Me
- Mrs. Lechner
- Hello! I am currently in my ninth year of teaching and am excited to be teaching Grade Six once again! I taught Grade Three for five years, went on maternity leave for a year, then co-taught for a year in Grades Four to Six (half-time). I was ready for a change, so I moved to teaching Grade Six full-time and then went on another maternity leave. I came back for good good and am thrilled to be able to continue my educational journey in Grade Six! Please feel free to drop by our classroom anytime and visit our blog often for information and updates!

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your resource links to help teachers use Inspiration and Kidspiration on your school computers.
I wanted to add a few more to your list that I feel will be helpful. On our blog Thinkspiration, we have our Inspired Calendar and our Inspired Sites.
The Inspired Calendar provides lesson plans and examples created by educators around special days and holidays. The Inspired Sites provide links to websites, wikis and blogs created by educators that provide valuable information about our programs.
To view each of these resources, visit our blog at http://www.inspiration.com/blog/ and look for the top tabs that say "Inspired Calendar" and "Inspired Sites."
You may also contact me with any questions or comments at connect(at)inspiration.com or find me on our blog, Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks!
