Making Diagrams in Inspiration

Our assignment from the previous class was to come up with a subject and design for our individual diagrams. We were asked to find and copy the state curriculum standards and the NETS S to paste in as well as a text book to use as a reference source. Once in class, we worked the first hour and a half to put these diagrams together using Inspiration. I did my diagram on color theory and found a wonderful site to link it to for additional information. This was my favorite assignment so far because it allowed us to be creative. Once we completed the diagrams and met all the requirements, the professor walked us through how to make a new page on our website for tech projects and how to link the homepage to it. Once linked, we also added a short annotation about our diagrams and included an extra link to a gif. image allowing those without Inspiration to view the diagram. We were then instructed to post the completed work to the blackboard drop box by Wednesday to be graded. We turned in our revised curriculum connections and our rubric for the diagrams and then proceeded to spend the remainder of class (60 minutes) taking our mid-term exam. I read all the chapters in preparation for the exam but still struggled on a few of the questions. I enjoyed making the diagrams and will continue to practice this method in Inspiration for future teaching purposes.
