Abstract:
The new media interfaces are the visualization that provide text, layout, format, design, user interaction factors and give measurable benefit to the user. That said, the ultimate results are implied through the user’s perceptual understanding with the use of the new media devices. This paper emphasizes Vygotsky’s work to the present-day use of social tools; i.e. the interactive mobile technology devices. The social tools; interface design - visual communications are children’s perception and understandings of learning. The use of the social tools also relate to the constructivism and connectivism over humans instructional instruction with technologies. Therefore, this paper is also interested to examine the link between these theoretical frameworks to Vygotsky’s theory of children’s speech, play and the zone of proximal development (ZPD) in learning. These fields are important to be examined for children’s learning attainments with the technological mediums.
