ABSTRACT
This paper describes the Subtle Stone, a tangible handheld tool which supports the communication of emotional experience in the classroom. The results of an initial evaluation suggest that this novel interface is easy to use within a busy working context, and renders the concept of emotion more accessible to young learners. The highly adaptable nature of the tool may make it a useful research instrument within other experimental contexts as well as a communication device for different experiential reports.

Exploring affective technologies for the classroom with the subtle stone
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsConstructive emotional experiences are strongly related to effective learning. Yet, it is challenging for teachers, researchers and students alike to understand the emotions experienced in the classroom setting. Advances in wireless and sensor ...
The communicative role of non-face emojis
Emojis have evolved from imitations of facial expressions meant to communicate affect into pictures of objects, food, and places that are not directly linked to affect. While emojis that resemble facial expressions are well-researched, emojis that ...
