A STUDY OF MOBILE APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN'S LEARNING -BASED ON STUDY OF JAPANESE OLD POETRY-

Mobile communication gives us to access to others whenever and wherever we want. Communication without spatiotemporal restraints is also useful and convenient for primary education also, however, it creates many problems. Children are used to recognizing new objects step by step, from closely concrete ones to invisible abstract steps. ICT communication doesn't have such steps. Though children can use mobiles easily, they cannot understand the results and influences of their own operations. We have studied methods to solve this problem empirically with elementary schools. As a part of this study we used Tanka, Japanese old poetry, using SNS in elementary schools. In addition, outcome of the actual trial, we created new application for children's communication education.
