Abstract: The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the positive implementations and impacts of a one-to-one device policy in K-12 schools. As time progresses, technology is being further integrated into 21st century classrooms. One-to-one device policies state that for each student, one digital device will be issued to them. These devices provide students and educators alike with a variety of new educational technologies, enhancing learning and instruction. One-to-one devices empower learning, offer personalized learning opportunities, and positively correlate to improved skills and scores. In short, this study will look into how incorporating one-to-one technology holistically affects learning.

Students will explore five different "Discovery Buckets". These buckets will give them opportunities to practice expressing both their thoughts and feelings. Main Curriculum Tie: English Language Arts Kindergarten Speaking and Listening Standard 6, Speak audibly and express thoughts, feelings, and ideas clearly. We recognize that an increased ability to communicate thoughts and feelings gives children the skills they need in their interactions with others. Acceptance by peers is not only correlated with positive attitudes toward school; it is a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life. This lesson helps children understand their emotions and how to appropriately express thoughts and feelings with others.

This book is designed to introduce doctoral and graduate students to the process of scientific research in the social sciences, business, education, public health, and related disciplines. This book is based on my lecture materials developed over a decade of teaching the doctoral-level class on Research Methods at the University of South Florida. The target audience for this book includes Ph.D. and graduate students, junior researchers, and professors teaching courses on research methods, although senior researchers can also use this book as a handy and compact reference.

As of 2019, “Research has shown 74% of teachers already implement digital game-based learning to help augment instruction” (Cahill, 2019). Some of these games are popular entertainment games used for educational purposes identified by the teacher. Other games are provided to educators from digital game-based learning (DGBL) platforms determined by administrators and school districts. There is no general consensus amongst experts on how to most effectively apply digital game-based learning to garner the most improvement for student achievement. With such a lack of guidance, educators are open to deciding when and how often to use DGBL. This paper will seek to develop recommended best practices for the use of digital game-based learning by analyzing literature and studies about DGBL.
