Technological Innovations for English Education

I plan to utilize Inspiration as a tool when teaching Secondary English Education. The application allows for creative designs of worksheets, quizzes and organizational instruction. Inspiration can provide a visual aid to understanding concepts and visualizing thoughts. In particular, students can benefit from the concept maps and paper outlines
Also, templates such as the Peer Editing template can be used by students when interacting with each other. Inspiration provides these templates in a way that the students can easily edit and revise each other's pieces of writing. 

In addition to organizing and editing writing assignments, Inspiration offers applications such as the Vocabulary Word template. This allows students and teachers a clear and simple way of seeing the definition of words and therefore learning the meaning more efficiently. 

Because Inspiration provides mostly templates for learning and organization, it would most likely be considered an integrated learning system.
