Recently, information and communication technologies have prevailed in education. It has been expected to develop their appropriate applications to educate students' expression and communication skills. We introduced a communication system the Public Opinion Channel (POC), which automatically broadcast information to a community of users via the Internet, and proposed its educational application, the Degi-shibai program, in which students collaboratively created picture-card-show like stories with photos shot by them. We examined efficacy of the Degi-shibai with the POC via an educational practice. In the practice, junior high school students were asked to create Degi-shibai stories with Microsoft PowerPoint and with the POC, and to evaluate them. Comments of students suggested (1) the POC was easier to learn to use then PPT, (2) features of the POC, especially the one that stories were read aloud by an avatar, facilitated students to generate words to express their thoughts, and (3) settings of the Degi-shibai gave students opportunities to reflect themselves and their surroundings. As our educational practice has methodological limitations, further researches were expected to investigate the effectiveness of the Degi-shibai with the POC strictly.
