    Technology offers "great flexibility in learning" (Bonk, 2010). Many opportunities are now available for students, especially in rural settings, to access online courses, communicate with other students, and research online resources. Utilizing technology in teaching also provides new ways to engage students in learning in the classroom.

     The demonstration of skills in technology is an important component of gifted education. Using technology in instruction provides opportunities for differentiating content, process, product and learning environment.
