What drew me to this post (first posted in 2017 and just reposted) was the really nice image of a graph (view it here) created by the first of the four tools listed, Lucidchart. Notice how the illustration of a process diagram is not just a fancy way to create a hierarchy (like this, this, and this, maps from the other three tools mentioned in the article), but actually shows a web of connections and flows. Such illustrations do a lot more to enhance understanding than do taxonomies or categorizations (despite the prevalance of taxonomies and categorizations in educational research). If you're on a Chromebook, get Lucidchart here. It works fine on other systems through a browser window, and might become a staple in my repertoire.
