			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought this was an interesting use of interactive technology; it&#8217;s a java applet placed online that allows the user to manipulate a face to create expressions. It&#8217;s designed to help children who have difficulty in reading expresssions to recognise and understand emotions on the faces of others.</p>
<p>The tool is one of the list on &#8216;Do to Learn&#8221;s site (<a href="http://www.dotolearn.com/">http://www.dotolearn.com/</a>); it&#8217;s Facial Expressions. The direct link is <a href="http://www.dotolearn.com/games/facialexpressions/face.htm">http://www.dotolearn.com/games/facialexpressions/face.htm</a></p>
<p>One user wrote in talking about her son:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;My son has a great deal of difficulty &#8220;reading&#8221; people&#8217;s nonverbal expressions, and this game seemed a perfect tool for him.  He played with the game here and there for about a month and I wasn&#8217;t sure if he was getting anything out of it.  Then one day he came in and told me about something unexpected that happened at school.  I asked if his teacher was surprised.  He pondered a moment, then said, &#8220;Why yes!  She was very surprised!  Her eyebrows went up and her mouth made into an oh!&#8221;  CLICK!  That was the first time he related a facial expression&#8221; with an emotion!</em>&#8220;</p>
