In the article "Mapping Student Minds" by Ariel Owen, the author makes a statement that casual mapping tool helps students thinking without even knowing. The students will make a cause and effect relationship data that will promote knowledge in an invisible way. This tool facilitates a critical thinking development. What the casual mapping does is analyzing relationships between objects or data. Also promotes a group work, share information and discussion. It is a dynamic activity with a great learning process. It is a very easy to make correction and add data, which brings new insights to the process and a more precise result. To me is a great tool, almost like a brainstorm, but with the advantage that analyzes relationship between the objects. To a cognitive learner is definitely a great tool to make the learning process interesting and enjoyable. I would like to use this kind of educative tool into my classroom if a have the opportunity. I believe it is very instructive especially for boys, who like to see things in a more logical perspective as cause and effect.
