Review

I like the pictures in the categories. However, I didn’t like that iT doesn’t provide the correct response to the student.

Waste of money

This game is worth maybe 20 cents. Scam. I want my money back!!!

No different than the cards

Would like to see more interaction or at least sound when you tap the pictures. I have the cards, don't need this app if it's just the cards.

Super!

As an elementary school English as a second language teacher, I love Super Duper Fun Decks. Pictures are an indispensable tool for learning language. The pictures in this Fun Deck are a springboard for language production and comprehension. Teachers can use the images in conjunction with a sentence frame in order to structure and extend the students' responses. Sometimes I project the "card" from the iPad onto a screen and we play as a whole group. Other times I use the app to work with a smaller group of students so I can closely monitor their language production and listen to them explain their thinking. In whole group playing, student partners can confer with each other write their answers on a small white board. I award points for the correct answer AND for the partners explaining why they made the answer choice. Either way has the advantage of triggering metacognition as students have to explain their thinking. The teacher can also keep score within the app of the students' correct/incorrect responses. The colorful app keeps the students engaged and learning!

I love using all the fun decks

Great app

This is a great app to help kids understand where things go and I like it because it is not multiple choice -- they have to figure out the answer.

Deck to app

Love this deck and now I can use it on the iPad as well. My only suggestion is to hide the data collection and just show it at the end. It is very distracting to my kids.

Nice

Can be used with let's name things, similar skills

Love the deck and the app

I agree with the review by Noble Morning Star. Super Duper, maybe you should write at the top of this page and others, "This app is not meant to be self guided by the child" or something along those lines for those who aren't familiar with the products you put out. Like I stated in one of my other reviews for you, this is a great app for what it is. I think it would be kind of cool to add the ability for the students to select an answer. You could present the screen like you normally do and then if the child needs assistance you could have a button at the bottom that says show choices and after you select it 2 or 3 answer choices pop up at the bottom. Just something to think about. Also, the data collector can be distracting. I think it would be a little better if it was a little more inconspicuous. So maybe just having the red and green buttons close together on the bottom right corner with no numbers and data will be collected and viewed later instead of during.
