Abstract

The article aims to explore the progress of technology use in gifted education and highlight the best practices and empirical research in this area. The literature on the use of technology with gifted students and their teachers has been extensive, with articles on best practices, but the empirical research in this area is still emerging. With the increasing interest and awareness about integrating technology, this review will be useful for helping teachers, practitioners, and researchers understand how technology has been used in different areas of gifted programming, including learning and development, assessment, curriculum, learning environments, and professional development. The authors also discuss the current research on technology use in general education and offer suggestions for future research in this area with gifted children and their teachers.
