Assistive Software Products - Concept Mapping

 

 

Kidspiration provides an easy way to apply the proven principles of visual learning. Students build graphic organizers by combining pictures, text and spoken words to represent thoughts and information.

Encourage your pupils to express themselves and share their thoughts with this innovative title which allows them to grasp new concepts and begin to categorise and organise their thoughts in a natural way. Like it`s big brother, Inspiration, Kidspiration has two viewing screens: Picture View and Writing View.

Picture View makes it easy for pupils to see their ideas and information visually, taking advantage of the principles of visual learning, allowing pupils to represent their ideas using symbols. Simple maps, webs and other visual learning diagrams are contained within a library of over 1,200 images. Audio also plays a role within this program, pupils can hear their work read aloud or record their own words. All menus, buttons and other text are audio supported as well, helping children to read and navigate with confidence.

Writing View integrates with Picture View to help pupils connect their ideas with words, as emerging readers learn about planning and organizing for writing.
