Opposite Day App Review & GIVEAWAY!

by 87 Comments

It’s a giveaway day!!!! Hooray!! Remember a few days ago when I spoke to you about the importance of picking effective and efficient apps in therapy? Well I’m going to share one with you today!  My friends at Pocket SLP are making some great apps for SLP’s. Today they gave me a code for Opposite Day to review for you. Bonus? Two copies to give away! See the bottom of the post for how to enter!!  My students and I played it this week and it was a hit! Of course we had to play under my name so that I could take some screen shots for you! You can add multiple kids to keep data on really easily.  You can choose which types of vocabulary you want to target during the session (in Spanish too!).  This is practice mode! You tap one card and it flips. Then you can have the student name the opposite and before they check the other. In quiz mode you, still have two cards, but you can collect data. See the red/green at the top of the page? Aren’t the graphics fun? I love them.  The highlights?  Entertaining for the kids and super easy data collection!  A few more ways you can use this app! I had my students turn them into sentences (Yesterday I ran, Today I run, Tomorrow I will run) to work on verbs. We also made sentences to work on pronouns and word order. Some friends practiced descriptive sentences to work on carry over of their articulation sounds too!  No onto what you have been waiting for!! The giveaway. Here is how to enter: You need to complete BOTH of these items and then only leave ONE COMMENT. Multiple comments will be deleted. I have 2 codes to giveaway! I will generate the winners with random.org in one week on Tuesday 2/21/12.  1. Like Speech Room News on Facebook (find it on the bar on the right side). 2. Like PocketSLP on Facebook Then leave a comment below telling us one objective/goal you would like to see materials created for! Don’t forget to add your name and email too!

      I’d like an app for functions, worked on in a variety of ways. Like, “Show me something you (eat)” and “Show me what you do with a toothbrush” and then “Tell me what you do with a coat.” Data collection within an app is always a plus!

      I agree with all of the above suggestions, but a sequencing app and a wh-questions/story comprehenion app are my top wishes right now!

      I would love to see more apps for following multiple step directions and problem solving/inferences for intermediate or middle school grades!

      I would LOVE some of the Common Core curriculum vocab by grade level. I have a lot of kids who are working on vocab, and would love to make it line up more with the curriculum as we transition to the Core.

      I would love to have an app that can handle all the articulation sounds, with multiple players, with each person working on their own sounds and gathering independent data. And a good social skills ap that has video clips of situations that can be used for problem solving, maybe with alternate video endings based upon what choices the child made.

      And not a therapy ap, but it would be nice if ASHA could compile their journal editions into ebooks or a merged pdf to allow for easier download and reading on an ipad.

      There are a lot of apps I would love to see…. auditory training, listening for key information, inference, figurative language, interpreting social cues and body language, sequencing story events (not just common scenes but based on actual stories), story comprhension, synonyms, antonyms with a grade level basis, sentence construction, verb tenses, following multistep directions, following directions with multiple critical elements.

      After having used several very good apps for articulation therapy including Pocket SLP, I would love to have an app suited to the unique needs of children with apraxia.

      I would love to see a pronouns specific app that targets posessive, reflexive and gender pronouns. I’m sure something like it does exist but I’m yet to find it! I will keep my eyes peeled 😉 Keep up the great work Jenna.

      I would love to see an app that works on sentence expansion (expressive language). There are so many apps out there that work on receptive language things and I’d love to find more to help my students express themselves.
      I’ve liked both Speech Room News and PocketSLP on Facebook!

      Hi Jenna, LOVING your blog and using Pinterest. I’ve been creating materials like crazy (which I haven’t done in a long time, usually just buy them but yours are so fun to make!) Thanks for sharing. I’d like to see an app. related to story elements–where students can choose from characters, setting, problem, solution, etc. and really focus on these areas before creating their stories.

      As a mother of speech delayed kindergartner I’m thrilled to find your site. I liked on FB too.
      The opposite app is just what we need right now. Do you have rhyming apps?

      I don’t like your stuff, Jenna…I love it! It’s so motivating to see all of your creations and to be able to use them is wonderful! The trend toward using narratives is something that I think hasn’t been done too much yet, but I’m not sure I know enough to do anything with it. I also think there’s not a lot of available material on following multistep directions. Thanks for all of your useful,fun stuff!

      I would like social apps and some apps utilizing the front facing camera on the iPad2. Thanks for the great website. I already like PocketSlp in Facebook, that is how I found out about you!

      That looks so fun! I would like to see an app about social skills. I’ve recently had a lot of kids on my caseload that are very…whiny! and I don’t think they understand how we portray their whiny-ness. Love your blog! Thanks so much for all the ideas.

      This app looks great and you can do so much with it! I would like more articulation apps. Also, some basic concept apps that are fun for preschoolers would be helpful.

      Thanks for the ideas as always!
