10. Benefits
Collaborating plans, ideas with others
Developing new thoughts and ideas
Pinpointing gaps, conflicts, time management
Quick understanding/ summary or project
requirements
Quick analysis of a feature
Determining if an idea is achievable or not.
11. Inspiration vs
Kidspiration - my journey
No Kidspiration available
– since then one has
become available –
search iStore for
Kidspiration
Couldn't use previously
made templates due to
lack of compatibility
free version (lite) didn't
have all features.

blogs
