It seems like a large number of our readers here in EdTech and mLearning are Android fans. Each time we post a list of iPad apps on certain topic, we receive a number of emails from several teachers inquiring about the Android versions of those apps. The recent request we got in this regard is about concept mapping apps for Android. To this end, we have scanned the iPad concept mapping apps we have previously shared and consulted a few other sources to compile for you this short selection.
