This comprehensive study conducts an in-depth analysis to explore the dynamic landscape of nutrition learning media research, aiming to delineate evolving trends, developmental trajectories, and their consequential implications. Employing bibliometric analysis and content analysis approaches, this research uncovers distinct publication patterns and citation behaviors, spotlighting pronounced trends catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a testament to the adaptability of educational systems. The study identifies a spectrum of learning media formats, encompassing applications, websites, and game-based platforms, while emphasizing the prevalence of experimental and design methodologies within the research paradigm. Keyword clusters elucidate strategies integrating technology and catering to diverse target audiences. In conclusion, nutrition education media plays a pivotal role in addressing health and sustainability challenges. The study advocates for ensuring equitable access to digital resources and advocates for fostering interdisciplinary collaboration as pivotal facets for future research endeavors. Ultimately, this research significantly contributes to enhancing nutrition literacy and underscores the transformative potential of technology-driven education in empowering informed dietary decisions and augmenting overall health outcomes.

Technology Education for High-Ability Students

Technologically adept teens not only consume technology voraciously; they create it. Gifted and talented students are attracted to technology for its capacity to transform learners from “receptacles of knowledge to active producers who direct their own learning” (Siegle, n.d.). Beyond the capacity to produce or innovate with technology is the opportunity to conceive and produce innovative technologies, a distinct type of tech giftedness (Siegle, n.d.) and the focus of the present chapter. Technologically skilled teens have been doing this for some time, typically unassisted. It’s not hard to locate the connections between Facebook, Google, and YouTube and their gifted creators. Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, and Steve Chen each participated in gifted programs as youth (Landau, 2010). Literature in this field comes mainly from the popular press; primary sources pertaining to elementary and secondary education are difficult to locate. At the present time, technology creation—to say nothing about its association with giftedness—remains the least documented member of the STEM family. There is a need to focus on current practices and resources that have effectively helped talented teens produce innovative technologies

There\u27s an App for That: The Development of an NFL Team Mobile Application

Technological advances, such as mobile applications (apps) are enhancing the way many sport fans interact with their favorite teams. Many sport organizations have started to utilize mobile apps in an effort enhance fans\u27 experience at the stadium and abroad. The current case study examines the adoption of a mobile app by a NFL team.
