As technology coordinator, co-author Alex Gonzalez provided examples on how to effectively integrate the use of tablets with teaching strategies. Nancy, Doug, and Alex shared their experiences in integrating tablets across grades 6th through 12th by providing a foundation of instruction through GRR and an approach that focuses on function over tool.
