This is the package of 'Shukudai Motivation Pen'.



When you open the box ...



It contained the main unit, Micro-USB cable for charging, instruction manual, startup guide, and stickers.



The size of the main body is 15 x 23 x 107 mm, and it fits comfortably on the palm of your hand.



There is a word 'KOKUYO' on the surface ...



Charging terminal on the back.



There is a power switch on the side.



The motivation pen is used by inserting a pencil, but the butt side of the pencil has a motivation lamp that changes the light to 10 colors.



On the other side, the tip of the pen tip is like this.



First, remove the cover of the charging terminal.



You need to press the 'first switch' first, so press the switch with an elongated object.



Since the Shukakui Motivation Pen is used in conjunction with the

iOS app, download the iOS app from the App Store before using it.

Android can be installed from the following.

Shukakui Motivation Pen-Google Play App

Tap 'Get' ...



Tap 'Install'.



Press 'Open' to open the app.



First, 'register the owner of the motivated pen'.



Check the 'I accept the terms of service' checkbox and tap 'Next'.



After entering your nickname, date of birth, and gender, press 'Next' again.



In addition, enter 'Parents who mainly see homework' and 'Area where you live' and tap 'Done'.



Follow the instructions 'Please turn on the power of the motivation pen' ...



Slide the power switch on the side of the main unit.



Then the motivation lamp on the butt part ...



It turned on twice like this.



Point your pencil and press 'Search for Motivated Pens' ...



The screen of the application will change automatically, so tap 'Pair motivated pen'.



This completes pairing. Tap 'Next'.



Tap 'Start app'.



Tap 'OK'.



When you press 'Yes', you will be asked 'Oh? You're probably going to put in a motivated pen?' ...



Something like Medjed is coming. Push the arrow next to the line.



'This is a motivated tree tribe that will keep you motivated.' 'Please put a lot of motivation into this and put in some nice items.' Press the arrow again.



Tap 'OK'.



This is the home screen. There is nothing you can operate just after starting the app, and the story doesn't start until you do your homework with a motivated pen.



The target age of the motivation pen is from the second grade to the fourth grade, so I actually bought a drill for the third grade.



I will try using a motivated pen with a pencil. When using a motivated pen, it is necessary to hold the main body of the motivated pen, not the pencil part. It was used by a female editorial staff with small hands, but it was a little difficult to hold until I got used to it.



The motivation light is constantly flashing while you undrill. The color of the lamp changes with the passage of time, such as white, light green, green, kiiro, sakuro, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, and water.



It looks like this is actually using a motivated pen. You don't need to keep your smartphone close to you while you're using it.

In addition, the motivated pen grasps the 'time when the pen is moving', not just the 'elapsed time'. Even if you shake the pen, it is not counted in the amount of study, so you can not cheat.



When using it, the lamp sometimes went out on the way. According to the 'Frequently Asked Questions' of the app, it may not be possible to measure due to writing habits and posture.



In such a case, press the power switch on the side of the main unit ...



Counting starts again when the lamp goes out. It doesn't mean 'go back to the beginning', so take a break.



As I continued to unravel the drill, it became Mizuiro, the final stage of the lamp ...



Tap 'Inspire power' in the app.



When you tilt the pen on your iPhone, the app is motivated as if water were flowing out of the pen. You can check the situation from the following.

Depending on the amount of motivation power poured, you can get items like this.



Items will be displayed in a sugoroku format in the 'Beginning Garden'. When you tap 'Determine Gohobi' ...



It is possible to decide the reward of the goal in advance like this. You can add game elements to your homework, such as collecting items with the goal of 'going to the aquarium' or 'going to the amusement park.'



Furthermore, after a while in the garden of the beginning, the following screen will appear. Tap 'Get it done'.



'Kiroku of motivation' is displayed. On the day you do your homework, the calendar will be marked, so tap the icon.



Homework start time, study time, and motivation time are displayed. The study time is '77 minutes', but the motivation time is '70 minutes', which means that the motivation pen did not move for 7 minutes. It seems that if you open the drill until the color of the lamp becomes the 10th color 'Mizuiro', it will take about an hour to study. When you press 'Add confirmation mark' ...



Hanamaru was attached on the 30th. When you tap 'Weekly Motivation Report' ...



It shows how much motivation time has increased compared to the previous week. Since it is possible to visualize how much the study time is increasing or decreasing, parents can grasp the degree of study of their children and it is easy to praise them.



In the 'motivation graph' ...



Since the 'study time' and 'motivation' times are displayed, it was clear how much the child was concentrating on studying.



After using it, it is possible to incorporate game elements into your homework, and you may be wondering, 'Let's do it a little more until the color of the light changes.' It seemed like I could get used to it and get bored. Rather, what is important is 'setting rewards' and 'visualizing the amount of study of children in an easy-to-understand manner to give parents a reason to praise their children'. I felt that I could motivate my child smoothly and positively by systematizing and visualizing communication related to my homework.

The price of the Shukakui Motivation Pen is 5378 yen including tax.
