Wespiration Classroom reflection.

Webspiration Classroom is a program that makes creating graphs and webs easy. The fifth assignment for my class, Principles of Instructional Technology, was to create a graphic organizer to develop the use of visual learning in the classroom by opening a trial account in www.webspirationclassroom.com. This program allows students and teachers to develop a Venn diagram, character map, or story web to dynamically involve the audience in the learning process. My project had to have a main idea and three supporting ideas with three levels of information, different fonts (size, color) and different background (color, clips, images, etc.), and four working hyperlinks. Since my content area is Spanish, I decided to do a story web about the types of stressed syllables and accents marks in Spanish. Having the information ready makes the process easier. I began filling all the spots in my story web, it was a little difficult for me to put related images in my project, but I tried to do my best. This program would be better if it would permit us to share the link to the project. It only allows us to download the project in word format or google as a trial account, but if we have a regular  account, Webspiration classroom is definitely a good resource to develop visual learning and keep communication between students and teachers.
