This fantastic tool enables students to participate in exciting, illuminating collaborative debate or group brainstorming. Students can work together to build graphs and visual representations of complex topics and arguments, creating subject-maps and spider graphs to clearly show different contributors' ideas and input. The graphs can then be saved for future reference or to be marked by a teacher or presented to other groups of students later on.
