Inspiration Software

Do you have trouble organizing your ideas and developing them into a writing assignment? 

Counseling and Career Services has concept mapping software called Inspiration, which you should make an appointment to try out! 

What is Inspiration? 

Inspiration software is designed to help people in organizing their thoughts and ideas in a variety of ways. As you use the program to type in ideas it automatically begins creating an outline for you. If you want to add in some notes about one of your ideas you can do so with the click of a button. Once you save your ideas as a file you can then use the one-click transfer feature to load your work into Microsoft Word. 

Would you like to try it out at MTC? 

To get the full experience of how this interactive software works we encourage you to make an appointment for an orientation to Inspiration. Call 822-3505 and schedule with Mike Morrison. You can also view quick tips on using Inspiration.
