I really liked using inspiration and I think it would be very useful for both the teacher and the student in a classroom setting. Inspiration is a good way to display main concepts and sub-concepts with pictures to help students make connections. For the teacher, diagrams could be used to hand out to students or hang in the classroom as a study guide or an aide for a book (character list, etc.). For students, Inspiration would be a good way to review for a test, or a good assignment to turn in for a project to make sure that the student is understanding the main concepts in the course. The only issue I have would be that it may be difficult to spend an extended amount of time on Inspiration at school. If the class period is only 50 minutes long, the students only have that long to work on the project because they
probably wouldn't have Inspiration on their home computer. Other than that, I think it is one of the most useful tools we have learned about so far. Here's my example of using Inspiration to help students understand some of the main concepts in relation to Ancient Greece:
