"Jesse introduced Inspiration software at a Professional Learning workshop, explained how to use it and motivated me to develop a facility that will absolutely be useful in my teaching.
Inspiration – finally – is a technology that facilitates learning in new and different ways, unlike so much of this technology that basically does things as traditional media always has, only electronically."

We are proud to announce our new partnership with Sublime Learning. Their award winning products align with our mission and our K12 services - to promote and enable differentiated visual thinking strategies in education.
Concept mapping facilitates meaningful learning that not only permits utilization of the knowledge in new contexts, but also the retention of the knowledge for long periods of time. (Novak & Cařas.)
