How? Fun Deck vs Main Idea

This colorful educational App for the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod touch® has all 52 illustrated picture cards (plus audio of each card text) from the How? Fun Deck by Super Duper Publications. Select the cards you want students to see, and have them develop their reasoning, problem-solving, and sequencing skills as they respond to questions like, “How do you … help someone who’s hurt?” and “How do you … make a sandwich?” This App is simple to use — each student looks at an illustration, and either reads the prompt or touches the screen to listen to the prompt. The student then gives a verbal response. After each answer, tap the green (correct) or red (incorrect) button to score the student’s verbal response. Move to the next card by sliding the card currently on the display screen to the side. To move to the next player, tap the bar at the top of the screen and select a name. You can also advance cards and players automatically by selecting the Auto-Advance option in the Game Options menu. You can leave a game temporarily and return to it later by selecting Pause Game from the menu. To return to the game, select Continue Game from the main menu. When you finish, view the results in a graph, and print or email your data. How? Fun Deck App lets you: • Use the app in portrait or landscape orientation. • Select all 52 cards or just the ones you want students to see. • Track correct and incorrect responses for an unlimited number of players. • Advance players and cards manually or automatically. • Receive feedback for incorrect and/or correct responses • Discontinue game play and continue at any time. • View results in a graph and see which questions a player missed during a session. • Print, E-mail and share your results.
