I think the upside to using our science activity is that students can see information presented in a new way. Sometimes just having the teacher lecture and students listen can be boring. Kidspiration is a new way for students to interact with the material. The biggest bonus of Kidspiration and almost any other fun science activity is that it's interactive. Students can demonstrate what they have learned without taking a test. A downside to using Kidspiration is that you would need to have a technologically advanced classroom. Without a computer for every student or at least a couple students per computer the activity wouldn't work. Another downside might be that the teacher might not have a lot of control as to what students are actually doing. With so many students on so many different computers, management might become an issue.
