Follow up from Animal classification activity
Well we finally finished the actual designing and organizing of our animal classifications using Inspiration. WOW, very comical. Some just had informtion all over the page indicating little knowlege of classification knowlege. Most were able to take their organized information and design some form of understandable finished product. A couple did a fantastic job, were very creative, and informative. I think with more use of the tools, the students will create better products each time. They had little experience with Inspiration, and many just wanted to be finished with the project. Others were simply frustrated in not being able to put things where they wantd it. Some actually got angry. Most found the activity enjoyable and learned a great deal from it. Very funny to sit back and watch their minds design.

Well done! It's good to hear what happened. I bet they learned a lot more from struggling with it than they would have if they had just copied it into a worksheet. I wonder what they thought about the experience. :-)
