The first site that I chose to review was Inspiration. I am very familiar with this site because the district that I work for uses it along with Kidspiration. This program is very similar to Inspiration except the targeted audience is a lot younger. These programs overall are aesthetically pleasing and are easy to use.
Bubbl.us was very similar to Inspiration as they were both easy to use and looked very nice. Like Inspiration, Bubbl.us allows the students to organize information in a way that is not confusing and is fun at the same time. This is important in the classroom because organization plays a key role. With that said both of these programs would be an asset to any district or school. The only addition benefit that Bubbl.us offers is the fact that there is not a charge.
The last program that I viewed was Education Oasis. This program offered many templates that would be functional for the students. On the other hand it is not nearly as aestetically pleasing as the others. Another gripe that I have is the fact that the templates are not functional online. In order to word process them they would have to be copied and pasted to a program such as Word or a Google Doc. All in all, I was not impressed.
