{App Review} Social Detective Intermediate

You know I LOVE anything Social Thinking, so I am very happy to share an awesome new app with you called, "Social Detective Intermediate"!


This app is FABULOUS!  I have a group of rather rambunctious energetic spirited 2nd graders and this app has held their attention throughout multiple sessions over the last few weeks as I have been checking out this app!

So what is included in this app?  Each social situation includes a video, which is awesome for engaging students!


Following the video, students must answer a few questions about the social situation.  First, they must make a smart guess.  This is basically like inferring information about "expected behaviors".


Students must also determine emotions within the app.


Additionally, students must make guesses as to what the people are thinking in the videos.

This app really gets at all of the common social skill areas that I feel I work on with my students!


This app is so easy to use!

Pros:
* The videos are incredibly engaging, even for students who sometimes have difficulty with attending, in my opinion.
* Each video targets basic social skills and is super easy to use.
* Videos can be replayed, so you can stop and start them as needed.
* There are a bunch of videos, so you can definitely use this app session after session after session.

Cons:
* I wish there was a way to go back to previous videos because sometimes my students would quickly push buttons instead of having conversations about why they were choosing their answers.

This app is currently $19.99 and you can find it HERE!  In my opinion, this is a WONDERFUL app for anyone who teaches social skills!
