Inspiration, Great Source give teachers new tools

(From T+L² 2005)

Inspiration Software and Great Source Education Group, a division of Houghton Mifflin Co., announced a collaboration that combines Inspiration’s visual learning software with Great Source’s line of reading comprehension materials–giving teachers new tools for using graphic organizers to improve reading comprehension. Co-developed by the two companies, the “Reader’s Handbook Integration Guide for Inspiration” provides lesson plans and activity ideas using Inspiration graphic organizers to support the learning strategies found in Great Source’s “Reader’s Handbook: A Guide for Reading and Learning, Grades 6-8.” Inspiration Software also demonstrated the latest version of its flagship graphic organizer and project creation tool, Inspiration 7.6, as well as its Kidspiration product for visual learning in K-5 classrooms.
