Digital Diagrams and Inspiration

Before we learned how to use digital diagrams in the classroom I have had no previous knowledge of the subject. I have had a few teachers that have hand drawn web diagrams but I have never seen or used digital diagrams. So this experience was completely new for me!

In class I learned how to navigate and use Inspiration software to create a digital diagram. Through our classroom I was able to discover how to customize a digital diagram through uploading photos, adding a hyperlink, creating the bubbles, and even changing colors and the overall layout of the diagram. Other than just simply creating the digital diagram I learned about the importance of using this technology in the classroom. These charts are easy for students to study and understand how contents are interrelated to one another.


Through our lesson on how to create digital diagrams I will be able to use this program to show the instrument families in the orchestra so students can understand how each instrument is categorized. I believe that using digital diagrams to show different facts about composers would also be helpful, so that students have a study aid for every composer. I really like digital diagrams and will definitely use them in my classroom!
