Summary:Due to the influence of COVID-19, there is a growing need to implement online classes in junior high and high schools. In online classes, students generally use a mouse and a keyboard to interact with the PC, but there is a concern that using a mouse and a keyboard may cause students to lose concentration because they do not move their bodies. Therefore, in this study, we developed a large button corresponding to Zoom's reaction function. Because students need to move their bodies a lot to press this button, students will be able to maintain their concentration and enjoy the lesson. Using the developed button, we experimented with first-year junior high school students. We confirmed through questionnaires that using the button helps them to enjoy the class and concentrate more than usual.
