Using Inspiration 7.0 (Windows)

Inspiration is a powerful multimedia learning tool that allows students to develop ideas and organize thinking by creating webs, concept maps, and diagrams. Students can move back and forth between graphic organizers and traditional outlines. Templates are included that provide basic frameworks for writing, designing webs, and publishing reports. Teachers can design webs, outlines, Venn diagrams, progress reports, and more. The possibilities are endless. Get Inspired! Find it on the web at: http://www.inspiration.com.

Please be sure to contact the school’s instructional technology liaison to ensure the installation of Inspiration software is licensed. Any unlicensed installations are illegal and unauthorized.


Basic Features in Inspiration 7.0

In this tutorial, a graphic organizer will be created to show the author, title, main characters, setting and important events in a story.

Opening Inspiration

1. Double-click the Inspiration icon to open the Inspiration application.
2. If the words “Tip of the Day” appear, choose the Close button.
3. Inspiration opens in a Basic Template with one highlighted symbol, the Main Idea symbol, in the center of the window.












4. In the Main Idea symbol, type the title of the story or novel. The highlighted words "Main Idea" will be replaced by the title of the story being described


Adding Related Symbols

5. Click on the shaded edge of the Main Idea symbol to select it. White “handles” will surround it:
6. Find the Create button in the Toolbar at the top of the screen:
Notice the eight arrows around the button. Clicking on an arrow creates a new symbol linked in the direction of the arrow.
7. Click one of the arrows on a Create button to make a new symbol that is linked to the title (Main Idea) symbol. Type “Setting.” Notice that the link appears as an arrow between the two symbols.
8. Click the Setting symbol to select it. Click on a Create button to make a new symbol that links to the Setting symbol. In this symbol, type details about the setting of the story.
9. Click on the Main Idea symbol that now contains the title of the story.
10. Using the Create buttons, click on another arrow to create a new symbol.
11. Type “Characters” in the new symbol.
12. Use the Create buttons to make a new symbol that is linked to the Characters symbol. In the new symbol, type the names of the main characters in the story.
13. Repeat steps 9 and 10 as many times as necessary to add new symbols for each of the following:
Major Story Events
Main Problem
Resolution
14. Use the Create buttons to add one or more symbols to each of the story elements just created. Type in the story details. (Note: It is best to write only one sentence or phrase per symbol.)
15. If a mistake is made, select Undo from the Edit menu in the Menu Bar, OR select the error by clicking on it and click the Delete or Backspace key.

Re-Arranging the Story Map

By now, the graphic organizer may look a bit jumbled. To arrange the organizer into an easy-to-read tree:

16. Click on the Arrange button in the toolbar at the top of the screen.
17. The Arrange Diagram dialog box will appear. Choose Right Tree in the Diagram Type frame and then click the OK button.

Now the story map is easy to read and contains all the necessary story elements.
Changing the Look or Shape of the Symbols

To change the look or shape of some of the symbols:

18. Select many symbols at one time by Shift-Clicking: hold the Shift key on the keyboard and click once on the following symbols: Setting, Characters, Major Story Events, Main Problem, and Resolution.
19. Release the Shift key and notice that these symbols now have square “handles” surrounding them.
20. Look at the Symbol Palette located on the left side of the Inspiration window. (Note: If the Symbol Palette does not appear, go up to the View menu and select Symbol Palette.) Inspiration comes with many symbol libraries, which can be accessed using the triangle buttons at the top of the Symbol Palette:













21. Find the diamond symbol from the Basic symbol library. Click on it, and the selected symbols in the story map will instantly change to the diamond shape.
22. Click on any empty white space in the Inspiration window. The symbols will no longer be highlighted.



Viewing as an Outline

Inspiration presents ideas as a graphic organizer (Diagram view) and as an outline (Outline view).

To view the story map as an outline:
23. Move from the Diagram view to the Outline view by clicking the Outline button in the toolbar at the top of the screen in the Diagram view.

It is possible to add information while in the Outline view by clicking on the Add Topic button and typing the new information. New information added in the Outline view will appear in new symbols upon return to the Diagram view.

24. To switch back to Diagram view, click the Diagram button on the top left corner of the toolbar.

Printing an Inspiration Document

To print an Inspiration document, it is convenient to have the entire document on one page.
25. From the File menu, choose Page Setup, and then select the Layout tab.
26. Select Portrait or Landscape orientation, and Fit to 1 Page. (Note: In Inspiration 7, this is the default setting.)
27. Inspiration 7 automatically adjusts to print in black and white.
28. Select Print Preview.
29. Select Print. In the Print window, click OK.



Saving an Inspiration Document

30. To save a document, choose Save As from the File menu.

31. In the Save in box, click the downward-facing arrow and choose a location from the scrolling list.
32. Type a name for the file in the File name box.
33. Click the Save button. (Information from both Diagram and Outline views, as well as any Notes, will be saved.)
34. Note: In the Save as type box, it is possible to save an Inspiration 7 file as an Inspiration 6 file. This is helpful if both versions of the software are in the building.

Additional Features in Inspiration 7.0

If there are several topics to go with a main idea or several subtopics to go with a topic, use the RapidFire button to enter information quickly.
