Kidspiration  provides a wonderful way for children to interact and connect concepts, content, and ideas through flow charts and pictures. Ideal for brainstorming, idea creating and planning. Great for visual / spatial learners.


You can add images from the huge database or you can import any from your computer. You can also draw your own pictures / words using the mouse.          

There are built in templates such as graphs,
character profiles, creative writing templates, and many more.
Ideal for IWB and well worth a look. There is a  21 day free trial at the moment - but is available for a reasonable price.
