Our Review

This practical guide offers librarians and educators a clear roadmap for integrating tablet technology into educational settings, focusing specifically on how these devices can enhance learning outcomes rather than just adding digital tools. The author provides concrete strategies for using tablets to support curriculum goals, from literacy development to research skills, with an emphasis on purposeful implementation. This isn't about technology for technology's sake, but about how tablets can become meaningful educational tools when used thoughtfully in libraries and classrooms.

What sets this resource apart is its direct applicability—every suggestion feels grounded in real educational contexts and addresses the practical challenges educators face daily. The concise format delivers immediately useful guidance without overwhelming theory, making it particularly valuable for professionals new to tablet integration or those looking to refine their existing practices. School librarians and classroom teachers alike will find actionable advice that transforms tablets from entertainment devices into powerful educational assets.
