Since I learned how to create a concept map last summer when working on ETEC 512, I have found myself turning to this tool again and again while reading complex articles or doing some research. Creating a concept map is not as quick as highlighting text or even taking notes, but it helps me to organize information and find links between ideas.

In the essay draft Democracy and Education: The Missing Link May Be Ours, John Willinsky describes how public access to information leads to new ‘digital democracy’ and explains how his Public Knowledge Project helps scholars publish their research in open access journals.
