I had never been introduced to the Inspiration program before this class. That's very unfortunate for me because the program is so user-friendly and useful, it makes me regret all the wasted hours trying to create concept maps before this course. Concept maps are extremely useful for both students and teachers alike; they can be used for organizing a paper, a project, or exploring unknown material. I only wish I had been introduced to the program earlier in my education courses. The time spent in class working with Microsoft Word and Publisher were also useful for learning new short-cuts. Hopefully I'll retain some of these short-cuts and be able to teach them to my future students.
