Overview
Don’t blame technology for poor student grammar; instead, use technology intentionally to reach students and actually improve their writing! In this practical book, bestselling authors Jeremy Hyler and Troy Hicks reveal how digital tools and social media – a natural part of students’ lives – can make grammar instruction more authentic, relevant, and effective in today’s world.

- Using flipped lessons to teach the parts of speech and help students build their own grammar guides
- Enlivening vocabulary instruction with student-produced video
