ThinkActive: Designing for Pseudonymous Activity Tracking in the Classroom
summary
A classroom system uses cheap Jammie Me Bounce wristbands, a single base station and pseudonymous avatars (color+animal+number) to collect 6 weeks of step data from 30 primary students while keeping identities off-system. Results show 80% wore bands for 32+ days and students synced with the display frequently (about 10 students per day, ~6 interactions/day), group challenges boost engagement, and avatars reduce safeguarding and stigma while enabling low-cost, in-class reflection.
