Emotionary App | Funny Feelings | Leveling the playing field with apps | Scoop.it

The issue for many schools and parents is that kids are actively involved in social networking before they have even begun social and emotional learning. Funny Feelings® resources are a fun, interactive way to develop emotional literacy. And the new emotionary app for iPhones and iPod touch, is the latest tool in the Funny Feelings® kit. 

 

"So many commentators cite the limitations of text as a medium when it comes to expressing emotions. Few recognise the problem is not the keyboard, it is our vocabulary of emotions."

 

Emotionary is a dictionary of emotions designed for sharing. Start young kids off with the free emotionary lite version that includes the full dictionary and over 70 accurately expressive full-sized emoticons, with the social networking feature deactivated. Then when they are ready to email, facebook, text, they can move on to the full version, and start expressing themselves safely and effectively in text.
