SD "What Are They Thinking?" 4.02

This educational application for iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch features 60 photo flashcards from the Webber Photo Cards What Are They Thinking? deck by Super Duper Publications. The app aims to enhance students' inferencing, reasoning, and conversational abilities by presenting engaging images of people and animals with thought bubbles above their heads. Users can tap the screen to listen to all the thoughts or select a single thought bubble to hear an individual character's thoughts. Additionally, a refresh button allows users to generate new thoughts for each bubble.

The app is designed for ease of use, requiring students to observe an illustration, contemplate the question "What are they thinking?" and provide a verbal response. Each answer is evaluated by tapping either the green (correct) or red (incorrect) button to score the student's response. Moving to the next card involves sliding the current card off the screen laterally to reveal the subsequent image. Transitioning to the next player is facilitated by selecting a name from the top bar on the screen. An Auto-Advance option in the Settings menu enables automatic progression of cards and players. Users can exit a game by choosing End from the menu and resume later by selecting Resume from the main menu. Upon completion, users can review results in graph format and print or email the data.

• Select all 60 cards or opt for specific cards based on students' preferences.
• Track correct and incorrect responses for an unlimited number of players.
• Facilitate storytelling exercises.
• Encourage longer sentence construction.
