This research followed a qualitative analysis model using grounded theory to explore unknown variables regarding integrating technology into the K-12 classroom, focusing on secondary classrooms. This study observed a small private high school in the Southeast region of the United States and its policy requiring students to provide personal…

The main aim of this study was to find out how emerging technologies influence academic achievement of students at the University of Cape Coast. The study employed ex post facto research design utilizing quantitative approach for data collection. Findings from the data analyzed showed that emerging technologies are available for use in the various…

Considering the prevalence of mobile technologies among secondary students, this case study examined a new mode for reflective writing: mobile journaling. Because reflective writing is spontaneous and continuous, mobile journaling, using a mobile device to record, store, and share personal reflections, is an innovative approach to improve the…

Post-secondary students are increasingly receiving instruction by eLearning. Many or these are part-time students or are working while taking classes.
