Concept Mapping tools allow students to generate maps that show relationships among ideas or concepts.  Concept maps might depict cause and effect, steps in a process, hierarchical structures, or attributes.  Concept mapping supports critical thinking because it allows students to visualize relationships.  Many online tools are free (with limited features) and allow authors to work collaboratively.
