My Take
This tool was a great resource for special needs and ELL students. I liked the fact that they had real life examples of children, not cartoon pictures. It gave great practice for my students with autism to practice seeing other children's faces and reading though cues without the added sense of auditory processing as well.
How I Use It
This product helps my ELL students and Special Needs students identify different emotions through facial expressions and body language. It helped my special needs students be able to identify their own emotions as well as others.

Wonderful pictures as a way to learn and understand emotions. Great for comparing and contrasting emotions also!
This app is a wonderful way to teach emotions to younger students or ELL kids. It allows for wonderful discussion and comparing and contrasting between the 4 emotions that they can pick from or each question. The settings allow the teacher to control which emotions and how many emotions are used for each session. There is wonderful vocabulary development opportunities that are controlled by the teacher as students are ready for new words. It also allows the teacher to control how the correct/incorrect answer is addressed (phrases, sounds). As an extension activity and a way to individualize the app for your class, there is also a way to customize the picture and emotions that are used....possibilities are endless!
