Abstract

This study intends to investigate the Personal Handyphone System (PHS) phone and its application in an elementary school. The interview process focused on the director who managed the planning for the system from an experimental elementary school located in Kaohsiung County, southern Taiwan. She joined of the whole digital experimental project and observed interactions between the parents and their own children in that specific elementary school. In the experimental period, the director observed each parent using a PHS phone for message transmission and mobile net communication, and the parents discussed and shared feelings with the teacher and other parents by using a PHS phone.
