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.
