app per costruire mappe concettuali e mappe mentali Amando le tecnologie e occupandomi di tecnologie dell’istruzione e dell’apprendimento, quando mi è stato regalato il primo iPad, una delle prime ricerche che ho fatto è stata per trovare delle app per realizzare mappe concettuali e per realizzare mappe mentali. Le mappe concettuali sono un efficace strumento per la rappresentazione delle conoscenze, come sostiene Joseph Novak; partendo, infatti, da un’idea centrale si può riorganizzare la propria conoscenza articolando il pensiero attraverso collegamenti sia gerarchici che trasversali, la mappa concettuale è organizzata in maniera reticolare; nelle mani di un bravo insegnante, le mappe concettuali possono essere un’utile strategia per favorire nell’alunno un apprendimento significativo. Le mappe concettuali, consentendo di individuare le relazioni tra i concetti, aiutano il ragazzo ad organizzare quello che ha studiato. Mental Mental è un’applicazione gratuita disponibile per iOS.

Humor Reader Jeb McLeish has brought to my attention an early attempt to do the metaphysics of chocolate: The Natural History of Chocolate by D. de Quelus (1730): The Spaniards, who were first acquainted with Chocolate after the Conquest of the new World, have laid it down for an undoubted Truth, that Chocolate is cold and dry, participating of the Nature of Earth. They have supported this Determination neither with Reason nor Experience; nor do they know from whence they learnt it; perhaps they have taken it upon the Words, and from the Tradition of the Inhabitants of the Country. Let that be as it will, it is natural from false Principles to draw false Conclusions, of which the two principal are as follow.The first is, That Chocolate being by Nature cold, it ought not to be used without being mixed with Spices, which are commonly hot, that so they might, both together, become temperate and wholesome. This was the Jargon and Practice of those Times.
