Description Topics Design Process

Toy industry is a new area of electronic smart toys growth. Products can help learning, based on environmental stimulus. They can follow to change the behavior patterns and actions. Speech synthesis and speech recognition is the key technology in smart toys to help communication between the user and toys to give children the toys and interaction between the real experience. Such products include TOMOGOCHI products, voice-controlled robot, interactive pets, puppets, password protection products, of course, dog. Smart toys developers have to face the cost, technology choice, dialogue, design, environmental considerations and system design considerations. The real magic lies in the use of all of these techniques to create a product, feature interesting and really be able to attract children and even adults, to the manufacturers for the cost-effective, this will become a popular product. Good design needs a toy technology, the proper use and in a natural way to mix the technologies. Users are often reluctant to wear headphones or holding a microphone to control their toys. The challenge is to allow the largest possible number of free and can still provide a strong clear signal to the toy. Designer must be creative in this part.

Physical Teaching Tips 10-11 years oldMastery of physical skillsActive and curiousSeek a variety of new experiencesPhysical changes cause 11-year-olds to tire easily


Social10-11-year-olds need a loving, accepting relationship with significant adults. They still need to share problems and successes with understanding people.10-11 years: Friendships and activities with age mates flourish. Children draw together and away from adults in the desire for independence. The child wants to be a part of the group and does not want to stand alone in competition. They no longer think aloud and so, keeping the communication open is prime. Listen, ask questions and avoid being judgmental.

Teaching TipsConsider the skill/ability levels of the children. Some can handle reading/writing activities and others may do better with music or art. Use pictures to help them understand Bible times and people. Avoid symbolism! Encourage them to look up information: discover their own answers to problems, use art, music, and drama. Help children learn Bible information and concepts. Allow them to use their Bibles by finding and reading portions. Bible reading games are good for this age and these are good years for Bible memory work. Help children understand the meaning of the verses they memorize. Include lots of opportunities for talking, questioning and discussing. These are good years for poetry, songs, drama, stories, drawing and painting. Give guidance in a way that does not destroy the child’s efforts in becoming a thinking, self-directed person.

Children's responses to the speech bubble prototypeRESULTSResponses from the study demonstrated that children liked the notion that agent output could be varied and that they had control over the output stream. Importantly, the output didn’t have to change modality for the children to exhibit this interest.

For example, Figure 1 demonstrates variation and agency expression which came from the children’s ideas for different sounds, noises and words that the speech bubbles could make.These sounds were not necessarily sophisticated; crying or saying ‘mama’ for the baby, growling or introducing himself with ‘my name is Max’ for the bear, and battle sounds for the light saber.
