Later, when the competition is over, Grace uploads the photo (without the balloon comment) , into the HUBHIVE Community Auction House so that other members can 'buy' her photo for 8 KOINZ each download.

  • the embodiment allows a number of desirable behaviours to be taught or reinforced, including: • Rewarding offline activities that integrate into an online presence. This aspect has been specifically developed to encourage children to exercise with an activity monitoring toy that will award points. • Rewarding online activities that involve communication and interaction with other community members. This has been specifically developed to encourage children to be social with other children. It is irrelevant whether the communication takes place on a 'community supported or affiliate' service or on a non- affiliated 3rd part service (e.g. Google, Yahoo!). • KOINZ can be redeemed for real-world currency or items, thereby teaching children about the value of saving, budgeting and other money and finance skills.
