Review:
When we discuss teaching pragmatics and all that is involved with non-verbal communication, there isn’t a better app then Feel Electric! It is a jam-packed app full of educational content that can be geared towards an array of individuals in differing age groups. The app is carefully laid out and detailed step-by-step by the characters on the screen. Feel Electric provides versatile learning in the areas of body language, understanding complex emotions, facial expressions, and most importantly how to express oneself both appropriately and accurately. As therapists, using this app teaches critical skills and grows the end user’s vocabulary (outside of the typical feelings happy, mad, and sad). It provides the individual with engaging tasks that keep them both focused and on topic no matter where they navigate to within the app.
Pros: Cons:
- Free
- Teaches pragmatics
- Wide variety of content
- Versatile to many age group (great for teens)
Feel Electric is a remarkable app that can be utilized in groups as well as individual settings. It is definitely worth downloading and exploring what it can do.
