“…This part adapts the user-centered design (UCD) approach, in which each artifact is evaluated with the users [43]. UCD refers to a design approach in which the potential users are involved in the designing team, especially in evaluating all artifacts at each designing stage.…”

This paper reports on an ongoing study, which determines whether digital storytelling is fun and entertaining. Since the digital storytelling has attracted research attention, children"s experience with regards to fun and entertaining when interacting with it should be studied, because they are the generation to utilize the technology. Hence, this study is carried out. This paper starts with some discussions on the background. It highlights the history of reading materials and their chronology. Also, some previous studies on fun and entertaining are reviewed. Then the activities involved in this study are described, including the development of digital storytelling that adapts the user-centered design approach. Further, a user test of the digital storytelling is elaborated including the results obtained. Next, the results are discussed in relation with the experience, before the conclusion section follows at the end. It was found that digital storytelling is really entertaining and invoking fun.

“…The participating teachers considered our project to be an educating experience for the children, and so let us organize our research activities as part of their everyday schoolwork (cf. Garzotto (2008), Iivari and Kinnula (2016), Rode et al (2003)). In spite of the challenges related to organizing research activities in a school environment, we deliberately chose to work with whole school classes instead of a smaller group of volunteer children at university premises, as we consider projects in school to provide the most natural way for genuine participation by children, as part of their everyday life (Iivari and Kinnula, 2016;Iivari et al, 2015).…”

Abstract. We contribute in this study a first step in theory-based understanding on how creativity in collaborative design sessions relates to the elements that are present in a creative act. These elements include group composition, objects present, practices used, and previous knowledge of the participants. The context of this study was our search for lightweight methods for technology design with children, which can be used in a school context with large groups, will require as little amount of training as possible, and can be set up quickly. We formed a mixed group, consisting of young children, an older child and an adult, with the aim of involving children in creative collaborative brainstorming during the very early phases of design, so as to come up with fruitful ideas for technology development. We report our process and examine the implications of our results in relation to different elements that trigger and affect creativity in the collaborative design process. Use of Vygotsky's cycle of creativity as our theoretical lens together with timeline analysis method presented in the paper were essential for seeing beneath the surface of what happened in this complex, collaborative creative process. Our results can be used for further methodological development of creative collaborative sessions, both with children and adults.2

“…There are related areas in which the impacts on children involved with technology design have been more specifically studied than as has been done for involvement in a technology design process. For example, Garzotto [5] examined benefits to children involved in Experience Design, and Kafai has long discussed the benefits to children who participate as Software Designers [7]. Rode et al [14] have also found potential benefits to including design partnering in classrooms as a way to convey curricular materials.…”

While there is a wealth of information about children's technology and the design processes used to create it, there is a dearth of information regarding how the children who participate in these design processes may be affected by their participation. In this paper, we motivate why studying this impact is important and look at the foundation provided by past research that touches on this topic. We conclude by briefly proposing methods appropriate for studying the impact of the design process on the children involved.
