  I like the idea of mapping to support student's critical thinking. Being able to visually arrange information to connect ideas helps frame students' critical thinking process. I find creating maps and webs helps me to assess information better, and is a strategy I employ often in my own classwork, and in my curriculum planning. Tools that allow for the digital creation of these maps make this process even better. Maps can be easily revisited and revised as new information is learned or discovered, students can work collaboratively and the limitations of the size of paper, etc. are nonexistent. One of these tools is MindNode. MindNode features fun images and "stickers" to easily label key ideas and connect points to a visual. Notes and links can be added to each point on the map, which will reinforce the idea of students basing their ideas on evidence. Students can be encouraged to include source information on each point. MindNode works across multiple platforms and devices, which would make it easy for students to engage with it via tablet or desktop depending on the hardware at home/school.
