I actually am trying to use this with the class. I think that this is as good an idea as any to use in the class; below are some ideas that I'm thinking of using with my class as real "problems."
Possible topics for solving problems
- Options for dealing with budget cuts in the school system.
- How to handle money problems in the house.
- Being treated as a kid Vs. Being treated as an adult.
- School issues (i.e. Gum, Clubs, etc.)
I'm sure that there are other ideas out there, but I've been painting rooms in my house for the last 3 days, so I'm out of ideas.
As for organization, my district has been pushing for use of Inspiration, and I'm fine with that. i actually like the program so far, and it does help organize ideas. Again, that's the main idea that I have, but I think that there are more out there.
Well, gotta run, but as always, please post, so I don't look like a total bonehead with no responses....

Interesting - how are you implementing Inspiration? How did the kids respond to the problems posed?
I've used Inspiration as an organization tool for webbing notes in Science. One example is that I had them create a web of sorts to organize Reusable, Renewable, and Non-Renewable resources. They were able to convert it to an outline if I wanted them to write about it, but I mainly wanted them to web ideas and images to help them get a better sense of what each category is.
