It presents detailed case studies that illustrate the successful implementation of these technologies in diverse school settings, providing best practices for integrating technology into counseling curricula, addressing ethical and legal considerations, and preparing for future trends in tech-enhanced counseling. This book covers topics such as digital technology, gamification, and telehealth, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, psychologists, academicians, computer scientists, and researchers.
