Lesson plan

WikiNodes

WikiNodes was an app for the Apple iPad built by IDEA.org. WikiNodes was the first tablet app for browsing Wikipedia using a radial tree approach to visualize how articles and subsections of articles are interrelated. The app displayed related items (articles or sections of an article), which spread on the screen, as a spiderweb of icons.
