Background
The using of tablets as media of learning is something new in Merauke. Usually, Tablet
is used to do work for an employer or playing game for the kids. The fact, many learning
applications for kids provided in Google Play. These applications are suitable for the learning
in Pre-School (PAUD), Kindergarten (TK) and Elementary School (SD). However, the using of
tablets for this purpose is not general among the kids. Start from this point, we designed a
learning process with integrating the using of tablets in a class. By this way, we try to suggest
the kids to using the tablet properly.

VI. Discussion
In this Activity, The kids use Kataku, Kataku 1 & Kataku 2 apps. Besides, The teachers
also use another apps such as Belajar Membaca Apps. The kids used Kataku Apps to learning
new things and alphabet. This apps have reward scheme to the kids who can make a right
answer. This learning was very attracting the kids because they felt appreciated every time
they made right answers. However, this apps have not “Log out” feature yet. This made the
kids and the teachers should forcedly close the apps to back to the Main Menu on the phone
screen. Furthermore, the interface of Belajar Membaca Apps is very attractive audio-visually.
Using the bright-creamy colors, the kids can learn faster to know the word and each of color.
Nonetheless, this apps are not built in context of Papuan Kids like Kataku Apps. It made the
kids felt strange with the pictographic on that screen.
However, we have observed that the using of tablet had increased the ability of the kids
to comprehend the alphabetical learning faster than ever. Moreover, by using the tablet, thekids are not only learning alphabetic, but also the color of the words. They also improved their
responsiveness to the instructions and develop their creativity using all the tools in the
application.

VII. Conclusion
The using of tablet accelerates the understanding of the kids in learning process of Alphabets,
colors, and numbers. Besides, they also have new way to learn about things, plants, and
animals around them.
However, the numbers of students in TK B are more than the numbers of tablets. They
are 12 students. This is made them must arranged into some groups to use one tablets. We
can make it more effective by add the numbers of tablets.
