The article I read for the organizational and studies tools bibliography talked about a program called Inspiration. This program is especially effective for students who have trouble organizing their thoughts and ideas and putting them on paper. The program uses computer software to help the student put all of their ideas and thoughts down and prioritize and organize what ideas are important and which are not. They are able to look at what they have and put them in order to form a good outline of what they want to write. At the end of the program, the student has a solid outline to use for the writing of any type of academic project that they have. Also, the student has the option to use visual cues such as diagrams, text boxes, and concept maps to organize ideas. This will help students organize and study effectively. The one drawback of this program is the fact that you have to pay for it and install it on the computer before it can be used.
