In today's constantly changing digital environment, schools are increasingly adopting innovative technologies to enhance students' learning experiences. In this research-to-resource article, I present a model for technology-integrated instruction of culturally diverse musics that aligns with the National Core Music Standards for secondary music…

Young children engage with digital technologies from a very young age. Often this is considered detrimental to their social development as it is seen as a socially isolating experience. This paper presents the findings of an Australian Research Council funded research project that focused on what characterises infants and toddlers peer-to-peer…

Augmented Reality (AR) technologies allow for holograms to be layered over the real-world, "augmenting" human vision by adding technical information or illustrations onto 3D space. Although AR-based applications are showing positive effects in many systematic reviews and meta-analyses, well-designed, rigorous studies with strong control…

Arithmetic fluency is regarded as a foundational math skill, typically measured as a single construct with pencil-and-paper-based timed assessments. We introduce a tablet-based assessment of single-digit fluency that captures individual trial response times across several embedded experimental contrasts of interest. A large (n = 824) cohort of…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the efficacy of iPad-based interventions in improving communication skills among students with autism, focusing on two participants with minimal functional speech. Materials/methods: A multiple baseline design was employed, consisting of two phases--a baseline phase (A), where the participants had access…

Digital gameplay and digital multimodal composition (DMC) are promising multimodal literacy practices. Nevertheless, research on their incorporation in literacy classrooms to foster students' multimodal literacy skills is lacking. This qualitative case study explored how two groups of Chinese adolescents used multimodal literacy in digital…

As virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) continue to become popular, there remains a noticeable gap in understanding their potential for enriching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning among K-12 students. To address this knowledge gap, this study systematically reviewed 117 articles published from 2010 to…

The usage of high-quality learning applications (apps) at home may increase children's mathematical and literacy competencies. This approach was tested in a family intervention study. Intervention families (n = 302) in two German cohorts (N = 500; M (SD)[subscript age] = 61.0 (4.6) months; n[female gender symbol] = 302) received tablets with newly…

This study aims to examine children's well-being and life satisfaction in terms of various variables related to parents' and children's problematic technology usage. Specifically, parent/child responses during their technology use and parents' phubbing and technoference behaviors were considered. The study was conducted with 185 children (8-14)…

The current research sought to identify important student achievement predictors from past literature, then use a publicly available dataset to assess the statistical contribution of technology factors above and beyond previously established effects. Using TIMSS data from Saudi Arabia, with data from 5,453 students in fourth grade mathematics and…

Across the world, more and more children are introduced to digital literacy alongside print literacy. In many settings, children are initiated to literacy by their families prior to formal education, and emergent research shows that children's awareness and learning of digital literacy begins in family settings. Yet, there is little awareness of…

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a speech-generating device (SGD) application on manding skills in Chinese children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given the communication challenges faced by many individuals with ASD, alternative methods for expressing needs are crucial. The SGD utilized speech synthesis technology to provide…

Background: Recent research has demonstrated the potential of mobile-assisted learning to enhance learners' learning outcomes. In contrast, the learning processes in this regard are much less explored using eye tracking technology. Objective: This systematic review study aims to synthesise the relevant work to reflect the current state of eye…

Early numeracy competencies are of great importance for children's competency development. Here, early digital intervention approaches offer the potential to support all children and their families. We investigated whether the provision of specific numeracy learning apps and parent information about children's numeracy development improves both,…

This study investigates the impact of video game usage on the creativity of students attending Waldorf schools. The research aims to: (1) analyze daily time spent on video games and its influence on creativity levels, (2) explore the effect of devices used for gaming, (3) identify the most popular game genres among students, and (4) assess the…
