  We introduce Sense{\mu} (pronounced "sense me"), a mobile application that
aims at supporting awareness in parent- child relationships through the sensing
capabilities of mobile devices. We discuss the relevance of three types of
awareness information: physical activity inferred from accelerometers, verbal
activity during class hours inferred from microphones, and social activity
inferred from Bluetooth pair-wise proximity sensing. We describe how we attempt
to contextualize these sensing data with the goal of supporting parents'
awareness of the educational performance and social wellbeing of their
children, as well as motivating and sustaining a two-way communication between
parents and teachers over the long term.
