As we already know, there are many free applications on the web that are very useful. Another example of one of these tools is Webspiration, the online version of Inspiration. This program helps organize ideas and thoughts for a paper, project, or just to stay focused on a topic. In Webspiration, you are able to create a concept-map, or a web-diagram. Once this has been done, you can then choose to make an "outline" of your concept map. This puts all of your information into, well, an outline format.
In education, this could be helpful to new writers. Young students sometimes struggle with making an outline for an essay. If they were to use this program, they could first create their web-diagram, then see how it translates into an outline. Then, from the outline, then can write their essay; this helps ideas stay organized throughout a paper.
This blog has some more information on Webspiration, it's features, and how Webspiration can be implemented in the classroom. Webspiration, and Inspiration, are really great tools that can help students get familiar with the outline format when writing essays and doing projects.
