Fact or Opinion App by Super Duper Updated

Super Duper updated their Fact or Opinion App last week.  I tested it today with some students and it is working much better.  The student data is sent within the email and as an attachment. Previously it wasn’t sending the data at all. Overall I am impressed with the response to my email. Now let’s see if they get around to updating the rest of their apps.  Hopefully they will make all of them send the student data within the email.

The Fact or Opinion App is a great app for older elementary, middle school and high school students. It works great with an individual and groups.

Tablet Bug Game and Frog

Watch this for a good laugh. I guess here is another use of a tablet. You can set up a bug game on your tablet and see if a nearby frog wants to eat, but the frog doesn't look too happy.

Do and Does Fun Deck



Rating: 4/5
This is another good language app that is working well on my Android devices.  Like the Super Duper Inc. other apps, if SD card is on the device it will store most of itself on the SD card so it only takes up 2 MB. My only problem with it is that it sends the data in an attachment instead of within the email.

Super Duper Name that Category Fun Deck

Rating: 5/5
This app provides you with all of the Super Duper "Name that Category" flashcards. It works well with single student or a group, providing automatic switching between students.  All of the Super Duper flashcard apps provide a high quality audio of the flashcard option if it is touched, this one has a correct and incorrect button which keeps score. The data can be sent within an email.  The data for the email is created in an html file which is saved on the device/SD card. I would recommend this app for lower elementary students working on basic categorical skills.

New SLP Android Apps Page in Google+

Check out my new Google+ page about Android Apps for SLPs here.

Hearbuilder Following Directions Software

Rating: 5/5
As a SLP, I use the professional version of this software with my students. It provides an engaging way for children to learn basic concepts (e.g., if, or, first, all, and after) as well as improve their abilities of following directions. I would recommend this software to be used with elementary age child who is having difficulties in these areas. Parts of this software would be appropriate for preschool children. It is currently cheaper to purchase here than it is to purchase it directly off of Super Duper Inc. website.
