Abstract:
The research problem is the permanent need of the learner specially child to get his attention attracted , so the use of tools and a variety of methods to attract his attention make it more effective and positive, so it was necessary to take advantage of the merits of each of the kinetic story and computer in an integrated manner through a technological learning environment based on multi-media systems in a manner which achieve the desired objectives with a high degree, on the basis of the importance of the narrative kinetic activity in the educational process, and from the scarcity of research on the use of this method,the researchers applied this research as one of the scientific attempts to know the effect of using the kinetic computerized story on the social interaction and some basic kinetic skills of the first grade deaf and dumb students.

The current research aims to identify the impact of the kinetic computerized story in sign language on social interaction and some of the basic kinetic skills on first primary grade deaf and dumb students.

Using the experimental method because of its relevance to the nature of research,the researchers used one of the experimental designs,an experimental design for the two experimental groups following the measurements pre and post test for both groups,it was performed on a sample of (20) twenty students of first year pupils in elementary school, hope for the deaf and dumb in Minya, who ranging in age from (7-8) years and that in the academic year 2011/2012 AD,that has been divided into two equal groups,each of ten (10) student, the basis of first experimental group was traditional kinetic story narrated by classroom teacher "researcher",while the basis of the second experimental group is the kinetic computerized story with sign language.

The research was performed in the period from 1/10/2011 AD to 23/12/2011 AD by two lessons per week for each group separately, and the time of lesson is (45) Forty-five minutes for a period of (12) twelve week at the rate of (24) Twenty-four lessons for group,the researchers obliged during the experiment that the researcher taught the two groups of experimental research throughout the course of the experiment.

One of the main results of the research that kinetic computerized story with sign language, which applied to the second experimental group contributed positively to improve the research variables "social interaction, some basic kinetic skills" for students in first grade more than traditional kinetic story narrated by classroom teacher, which have been applied the first experimental group,

The researchers recommended the necessity of relying on kinetic computerized story mode associated with sign language in the development of social interaction and improve some basic kinetic skills for students in first grade.
