Designing Education Process in an Elementary School for Mobile Phone Literacy

摘要

In Japan, 53% of children from 10 years old to 17 years old use mobile phones. Filtering technology and systems to protect children are progressing day by day, however, they are still liable to become victims of crime through community sites and 1,239 trouble cases were published in 2010. It is strongly required that children should learn how to treat information on mobile phones. In this paper, we discuss our learning model to learn literacy of mobile phone and the result of our experiment to learn literacy of mobile phone using our model and tool. We call the tool PNS (Pupils Network System) that is designed based on our survey at an elementary school in Tokyo for four years. We confirmed that our methodology is useful to learn literacy of mobile phone.
