Visual thinking softwares, such as KIDspiration and Inspiration provide great tools that can help students tremendously in the classroom. These programs incorporate hearing, seeing and feeling types of thinking for various learners. They are great for meeting the needs of several types of learners, as they help students focus on relevant information. Software such as inspiration leads to gathering information in an easily understood format. In gathering data and visually representing ideas, visual thinking software creates a clear and easy to use format for organizing information. Concept maps help students break down concepts into individual components, allowing them to see relationships through connections among pieces of information. The SMARTboard is also a phenomenal tool in engaging students in a hands-on experience. Using technology such as SMARTboard is vital in the 21st century, and allows for a more interactive environment in the classroom.
