Artefact Four

Here is my fourth artefact. IT is the prototype for an application, it is pretty self explanatory once you go on the app. Basically just work through the stages for the child to receive the rewards. The idea is to set a balance between gaming and socialising for those children who spend a significant amount of time on computer games. To view the prototype please visit

Artefact Four Inspiration

Here is some more inspiration with the app iEarned That where the parent sets the child goals such as homework, with a reward of going to the circus etc..
Tis is represented by a jigsaw puzzle, once a goal is set the a peice of the jugsaw is layed, once the jigsaw is complete the reward happens, and represents what is in the jigsaw, with the above example being a visit to the circus.

More Inspiration Artefact 4

Above is an image of the app called MY LIFE RANK.
This app allows yu to set specific goals for yourself and for friends. This then detirmines your rank once the challenges are completed.
This has given me inspiration for the next artefact which will be the fourth.
I will be creating an application with specific goals. The theme of these goals will be test on social situations. The test will be aimed at children and judged by parents.
The child will be enticed by a reward which should hopefully help out by improving social life

This video on children who are home schooled is the inspiration for my fourth artefact.
It is nothing to do with being home schooled but i like the idea of stage by stage help for children who need to go out and socialise more.

My artefact will also be aiming to help children who have addiction to computer games. Well addiction is quite a strong word, maybe a better phrase would be 'over users of games'
