As a learning tool, Inspiration for Palm OS provides a wide range of capabilities to support the learning styles and skills of students grade 4 to adult.
Sketch directly on screen with the stylus
Build graphic organizers by sketching symbols and links directly on the handheld screen with the stylus. Inspiration for Palm OS recognizes a variety of shapes and automatically translates them into standard drawings so diagrams are clear and easy to read.
Work effectively on the handheld screen
Zoom in to work on specific sections; zoom out to work on organization and comprehension of the entire diagram. View your diagram at 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% or Fit to Screen.
View and modify text when the diagram is zoomed out. Tap a symbol or link to display the magnified text at the top of the screen for instant editing.
Use the Go to Symbol tool to access a complete list of the symbols in your graphic organizer. A simple tap takes you to the symbol you're looking for.
