The first example that I found was a timeline of women's suffrage in America, the timeline has pictures of important people, maps, logos and drawings that are significant to suffrage, along with all the important dates that go along with it. While, I probably wouldn't use this exact timeline, or one with the same subject, I definitely could see myself using something like Inspiration to make a timeline. If I was incorporating it into my unit, I could use it for the lesson that I have about the events leading up to the Holocaust, and have students use Inspiration to make their timelines, although, if I were to use this in my classroom, I would probably add another technology element, like a Prezi or a PowePoint to the timeline, or students could use the presentation element of Inspiration. Adding the timeline and the presentation together, I would say that this would probably fall under the modification level, as it goes beyond just a regular presentation or timeline and combines the two to make a more interactive project.
Another example that I found was a video on how to make diagrams. Diagrams start with one idea near the top and just keep connecting ideas as you go down the diagram. Keeping in my unit, I could see myself using the diagram feature of Inspiration to make diagrams of the division of power among the Nazis, or the concentration camps, or if I wanted to step outside of my unit, I could use the diagrams to show the royal family of Britain or another country. I could definitely see myself using this aspect of Inspiration in my classroom to have my students make diagrams. I would put the diagrams at more of a Augmentation level as opposed of a higher level, unless you were to have students use the presentation or outline features as well.
