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.

Topics Covered:

  • Teaching students to code switch and differentiate between formal and informal sentence styles

  • Using flipped lessons to teach the parts of speech and help students build their own grammar guides

  • Enlivening vocabulary instruction with student-produced video

  • Helping students master capitalization and punctuation in different digital contexts

Each chapter contains examples, screenshots, and instructions to help you implement the ideas. With the strategies in this book, you can empower students to become better writers with the tools they already love and use daily.
