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.
