Abstract
We developed a mobile learning application that permits users to explore and learn a natural environment. By using PDA, learners seek various kinds of sound in surroundings, and record them. Sounds are stored in PDA with position information obtained from GPS receiver, which is embedded in PDA. Sounds are layered on an aerial photo, based on the position information. As the network technology spread to school education, visual information (such as text, photo, etc) will be large in quantity. This project aim at stimulate children's awareness or creativity, by paying attention to audible information that is gained from surroundings.
