THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

MatchBook allows users to save, tag, and annotate their favorite locations. Users can take advantage of the app by bookmarking favorite restaurants, relaxation spots, or other important destinations. Part of exercising the Self-Awareness thinking skill is the ability to understand one's own thoughts and feelings. MatchBook allows users to attach these thoughts and feelings to favorite locations for sharing or easy reference in the future. Users can record notes about favorite events in locations, favorite foods, or other relevant personal information and connections. Understanding preferences and emotions associated with locations is an excellent way to exercise and strengthen the Self-Awareness thinking skill.

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

MatchBook's primary purpose is to provide users with a central location in which to store their favorite destinations. The app allows users to further organize their thoughts and other relevant information through textual annotations, photographs, and "tags" that assist in sorting and locating locations. Understanding organizational systems and using the app as a utility to track information are both great ways to exercise the Organization thinking skill.

Writing

Adding tags and notes to bookmarked locations provides users an opportunity to practice their writing skills. Annotations can consist of relevant memories, or simply important reminders for locations. Users will practice writing clearly and concisely in order to communicate information using a small amount of text. For example, when bookmarking a favorite restaurant, users might write messages to indicate their favorite dishes or table. Users might write reminders to themselves or for others who will share the location's bookmark. Learning to write short and concise communications in MatchBook is a great way to practice skills associated with writing.
