Digital Diagrams

Inspiration is a software program available for purchase online but also has free trials to try, and it allows users to create digital diagrams on any subject one can think of.  This program can contribute to many ideas in a classroom, such as creating diagrams for historical subjects, science, people, events, art history, etc. Basically, diagrams can map out ANY idea or topic! The possibilities are really endless.  In addition, I think Inspiration would be a great tool to use for the art classroom.  Ideas that could be mapped out for the art classroom are artists, art movements, art-making tools, art techniques, safety, using nature in art, color in art, etc. The possibilities are endless for the art classroom as well. Students can map ideas out in their own way with their own preferences, which can be motivating for them.  It is also faster than hand-drawing diagrams, which is what I did as a student back in the day!
