Now that all Special Education classroom computers have Inspiration™ available for student and staff use, the following is designed to assist you in getting the most out of the program.

Need help finding information on the Internet? Here are two sites that work with the Inspiration™ software available in all special education classrooms to help you find and organize information:

	KartOO, a metasearch engine with visual display interfaces. When you enter your search text (making sure to click WWW rather than UK), KartOO launches the query to a set of search engines, gathers the results, compiles them and represents them in a series of interactive maps through a proprietary algorithm. It work VERY much like Inspiration!!
	Google Sets, a of Google Labs, automatically create sets of items from a few examples. This is a GREAT tool for coming up with other words to search for given a short list of topics.
