THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

Creating a new slideshow to share on Fotopedia Reporter requires users to exercise the Organization thinking skill in a number of ways. Before beginning, users must organize their digital photographs, making decisions about how many and which images to include in their slideshow and where to store these images for easy access by Fotopedia Reporter. Creating the slideshow also requires some organization. Users select individual photographs, add titles, and annotate their slides with descriptions which should provide users' audience with additional relevant information. Users are also tasked with creating a "cover page," which includes a photograph and overall summarization of what the slideshow will contain. Sorting, annotating, and creating unique photo content for Fotopedia Reporter requires users to exercise the Organization thinking skill while sifting through potentially large numbers of digital photographs.

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

Fotopedia Reporter provides users with an excellent opportunity to explore and discover personal interests through visual media. The app allows users to browse new or popular photographic stories on a range of topics from remote locations on the other side of the world, to events happening in their own city. Additionally, users can simply browse present and past stories pertaining to a number of designated topics like architecture, food, or travel. Users can explore photographic content on a subject they already enjoy, getting a first-hand perspective that includes often professional-grade photographs and enlightening descriptions. Browsing new content may also provide users with a new interest they may not have otherwise discovered. Creating their own unique slideshows also allows users to explore their thoughts and feelings on any subject of their choosing and share them with the world, creating their own unique photographs and descriptions. Fotopedia Reporter is a great way for users to explore their personal interests and preferences, discover new interests, or share their thoughts and feelings-- all great ways to exercise the Self-Awareness thinking skill.

Reading & Writing

Fotopedia Reporter provides an opportunity for your users to practice some light reading and writing through various annotations and descriptions relating to photographs. Many slideshows provide detailed descriptions of the images, their locations, and other relevant information to help contextualize the slideshows. Reading the descriptions is a great way to practice reading using a non-traditional format and can also give users some great suggestions on how to describe images in short, succinct sentences. In addition, when creating a personal slideshow, users are given the opportunity to consider and write their own descriptions and summaries. Though the app only requires small amounts of text, users can expound on any relevant subject, providing detailed information about locations, history, or any other information that might help an audience contextualize or learn more about a photograph.
