Abstract: This study investigates the possibilities associated with elementary students using PDA Phones and built-in software in mobile learning. The participants comprised 21 6th grade students in southern Taiwan, including 12 boys and nine girls. Students participated in five experimental learning activities over 15 weeks. Furthermore, four semi-structured questionnaires, two unstructured individual interviews and two semi-structured individual interviews were conducted. The results demonstrate that students can easily use PDA Phones in learning activities. Besides, Internet, music, game, photo and phone were the most commonly used applications. This study also probes into the problems associated with students using PDA Phones.
