Educational psychologists and theorists have posited that students differ not only in their learning styles but also in their realms of intelligence. Technological developments have facilitated educators in reaching students with different learning styles and intelligences. This paper investigates the use of Inspiration, a concept-mapping software, as a learning tool for all learners. My focus will ultimately be on the use of Inspiration in the English Classroom, but will provide insight into the software for all educators. I surmise Inspiration will be particularly helpful in an English classroom because the discipline typically relies on written text, caters to students with verbal-linguistic intelligence, and traditionally neglects technology. Inspiration helps learners bridge the gap between visual and textual literacy that is especially necessary in an English classroom, but important in any educational setting. I attempt to provide insight on the program generally, how to use Inspiration, examples of teacher- and student-created projects using Inspiration, pros and cons of using the software, and useful tips for teachers in hopes that Inspiration will be adapted for use in more English classrooms.
