I re-did my inspiration mapping for the E-Tips article. During class I felt comfortable using this program, and actually really enjoyed it. I can see myself using this for various purposes outside of the this class, and even my future classroom. The inspiration mapping is a great tool for organizing and sorting things. I really just wanted to be somewhat creative and fun with this map. Since the article had to do with technology I thought I'd incorporate some "technology" graphics. When the user of the program begins content mapping it is important to start off with the main idea. In this case, it was the title of the article. From there the user can go into sub-headings and supporting examples/points for those headings. I didn't want my content mapping to be confusing for someone who was to look at it for the first time. So for the headings I put computer graphics and for the points/examples I put them into a standard rectangle box. I also wanted to make sure that each point, sub heading, and heading was situated so it was easy for a readers eye to move through the mapping without getting confused. To make the users life a little easier, this content mapping program provides the users with various fonts, colors, and shapes, for each point/heading to organize them into categories. Also, the inspiration mapping allows the user/viewer to see their thoughts/points organized in various ways, not just through this mapping; it also has the option of being an outline.
