We recognize that with every mobile technology, there is the potential for misuse. Recon is no exception, in that there may become obstacles in enforcing regulation and ensuring positive use. Recon was designed to help visually enhance interaction within young students' lives at a critical stage of development where understanding reconciliation is exceptionally important, yet, with the aid of biological cues, misuse could result in privacy concerns and harassment issues.

Some users may have concerns about ethical use and that Recon could be invasive to privacy - this is why Recon was designed with removable modules. Future research will need to address long term ethical impacts.

Additionally, research shows that intentional programming of psychological cues, also known as persuasive technology, is unhelpful and unethical (Spahn, 2011). In the case of children, evidence-based and ethical application of this technology is mandatory.

As with any implementation of pedagogical tools, parents and teachers must learn about and continuously monitor the usage to strategize how it best can be used.

We acknowledge that each child is different, and Recon may not be a good fit for each child, but this is why Recon was modularly designed to help target specific needs.

Recon is intended to help children scaffold their emotional competence, with the hope that as they progress through school, and continue to learn and grow in enhanced unity and understanding with each other, that reconciliation will be achieved.

Future research efforts should consider how each module affects children over a period of 5 years, as well, it should be evaluated how children interact with each other before and after using Recon. As well, it should be studied how Recon with instructor monitoring, vs Recon without instructor monitoring affects outcomes on behavior.
