The present study organized a practical mattress exercise session in an elementary school physical education class, wherein each student was provided with a tablet device. We investigated how the learners utilize the tablets to achieve the lesson’s goal by enabling the learners to select and use available filming and viewing functions installed in the tablets, at their own discretion. The result of a survey asking learners about the effectiveness of the learning activity utilizing tablet devices, together with the record of their activities consisting of videos and observers’ notes, video records, and the learners’ comments, were then analyzed. The results suggest that in a learning program designed to allow learners to select and use available functions and determine their uses themselves, they can select and utilize functions according to the lesson’s contents and purposes.
