Jeremy, We still deploy an old version of Inspiration on a limited number of machines and Kidspiration to the one lab at the elementary. I really like Free Mind but it is way more Inspiration like than Kidspiration like. Have a look at it and see what you think. It has been a while since I looked at it. It could have very well improved since then. Chad Frerichs Director of Technology Okoboji Community Schools Milford, IA 51351

Jeremy, Have you looked at Free Mind http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page ? We have looked at alternatives as well and have not found one that was up to level of inspiration yet. Free Mind was my favorite, but I didn't look at the option very in-depth.

Happy Summer!!! Anyone out there using an open-source alternative to Inspiration or Kidspiration? We have made the switch from KidPix to TuxPaint, and that has seem to go pretty well. Looking for an alternative to the Inspiration product, so if anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them. Thanks!!!
