Ok so I don't like relying to heavily on technology because the higher Teck it is the farther it falls when it fails. Due to the fact that i would like to teach Junior or Senior English I probably won't use inspiration. One I can't see the point in this because all the significant information would be given in class and because I agree that any teacher using this in high school other than a Spanish, French, ... etc. would be insulting the intelligence of the students.
The primary way for students to use technology in writing is typing the page on a computer and a way for students to interact with peer review would be to post there paper on a blog and have there class mates review it. The problem with this is if at a school like Winnsboro 70 percent of my graduating class had home computers and only 20 percent of that had internet faster than a possible 56k. In fact my first typed paper I wrote on an old manual type- writer.

I agree that students need to learn technology through typing and that some students could find using inspiration as an insult.
I believe that you may be able to use technology in an English classroom more than you think. Making visual aides of authors works and possibly even showing movies made about their books may be beneficial to your students learning.
