PROFILING (Sean McManaman)

Imagine you are starting your first day at a new school, and you don't know anyone yet. Everyone is wearing school uniforms and you cant tell much about your classmates. You see a student with the watch themed after your favorite TV show. You talk to them about the show, and it could lead to a great friendship. Could this device help you?

Celebrating Individuality

Allowing students to profile themselves with customizable watch faces and and plates, showing interests and helping break the ice with other students.

Wristbands can have changeable stylized plates, to allow kids to adapt and grow their unique personalities.

Students can wear the main module in different ways, depending on what they find comfortable or stylish. It can take the form of a watch, clip, or keychain.

Innocademy Feedback

Students worried about multiple watchband/ pendant options being a distraction and constantly changing the interface
They liked being able to pick their interface
They suggested implementing some sort of cool down for it. Suggested that they’d only be able to do one customization at the beginning of the day before heading to school. Or that it would electronically lock onto it’s customization somehow or a special thing to unlock it.

EXPRESSING EMOTIONS (Kristin Carpenter)

If you're having trouble concentrating in class, sharing how you're feeling and how engaged you are, can help the teacher to modify their lesson to suit the classes needs.

Innocademy Feedback:

Teacher really liked being able to see the overall mood of the class

Students can select how they are feeling and send a message to the teacher, if they choose to.

Teachers and see how their class is feeling overall and adjust their class appropriately.

They can also see students specific feelings to better know how to help that student.

Imagine you can customize the screen of your device to show an interest or hobby of yours, this can become a great conversation starter and show who in your class has similar interests to you. Each student can change their watch face multiple times per day... depending on the situation.

Devices can go into an idle mode when not in use, students can customize idle screens to display something they are interested in or like. Screens could display symbols from books, shows, movies, bands, games, or hobbies.

Innocademy Feedback

A button to enter idle mode
Animated screens
Icons for what you're supposed to be doing
Solid colors
Ability to load your own artwork
Students liked the different customized backgrounds. They were interested in having the screen change to a different picture every once in a while. Some didn't like this idea, as it would become a distraction.

WEARABILITY

Brittany Brown

If you were to wear a watch on your wrist all day while at school what type of band would you like for your wrist? Soft like fabric/clothing or firm like plastic? Different types of bands could offer a range of options for comfort and style. All bands can be changed in their widths but not all bands offer the same comfort or support.
