Kidspiration Software

I used the Kidspiration software for the first time two months ago and I will say it's a great program to create interactive activities for students grades K-5. In my Ed Tech and Design class, I created an interactive activity for kindergarten students to help them remember and identify which food items belong in each food group. Each student has to drag and drop food items into the labeled food group carts. I created written instructions both in Spanish and English. Each food item and cart is labeled in Spanish and English. I inserted a hyperlink available to students to use as a guide if they need any help. I also inserted audio in Spanish and English to the instructions and to each label for students that need help reading or don't know how to read. I really enjoyed using Kidspiration.

Teachers can use this software to create interactive activities and worksheets for their students. It certainly beats the traditional paper and pencil method! Teachers can also use Kidspiration to create demos and lesson plans. Kidspiration is easy to use for both the teacher and the students and it makes learning fun and interesting. Kidspiration helps students develop and strengthen reading, writing, thinking, and math skills.
