Inspiration 8 (2of2)

Inspiration 8 Continued (Diagram View)

Version 8 Diagram view appears much the same as previous versions with a few noted and welcomed changes. The first and most exciting is the addition of symbols. With an internet access you now have access to over 1 million symbols. There is no longer a need to make do with a picture that just doesn’t fit. In order to accommodate this capability a search bar is located at the bottom of the symbols library. The diagramming is intuitive and simple to use. Simply click on the screen and a new symbol and it’s ready to add the text. Linking symbols is as simple as clicking on a symbol and dragging it to the symbol you would like to link to. As with previous versions you can label links to identify relationships between symbols. It is possible to add hyperlinks to symbols to provide instant access to more detailed information. Inspiration also includes a word guide that is like a dictionary and thesaurus in one that is very easy to use. Simply highlight the word you would like to look up, and click on the word guide in the toolbar.

This tool is great for brainstorming, creating flow charts, concept mapping, organizing information, classifying, and much more. I realize this article may be a little difficult to understand if you are not familiar with the Inspiration interface. But there is a simple remedy to that. Inspiration offers a free download that includes some very good instructional videos to get you up and started with this fun tool.
