What in the world are hyperdocs?<\/h5>\n

A hyperdoc is a mini lesson. Almost like a small, self-directed learning module. It usually lives in a Google Doc, or Google Slides, but instead of being simply a collection of resources, it asks students to perform tasks or respond, directly in the doc. It provides scaffolded directions in a way that normal worksheets don’t.<\/p>\n

Why hyperdocs?<\/h5>\n

Our students need us more than ever to provide clarity about what we want them to know, understand, and do in any learning opportunity. Without in-person cues, prompts, body language, routines? Students learning in hybrid and remote environments can get easily lost. But hyperdocs can help us provide clarity. <\/span><\/p>\n

A well-designed hyperdoc gives learners what they need to succeed: a sequence of learning activities that move toward a clear target. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than a one-off lesson that might not feel connected, we provide context with a clear learning target and easy-to-follow instructional steps with a hyperdoc. And, our learners<\/span> can experience control over path, place, and pace in our unit or mini-lesson with the scaffolding provided.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does a hyperdoc look like?<\/h5>\n

Here’s a sample hyperdoc that you can run off with: it focuses on Nearpod.<\/p>\n

How do I make a hyperdoc?<\/h5>\n

You can make a hyperdoc from scratch or explore pre-created templates. Simply make a copy and edit it for your context and your learners\u2019 needs. The best hyperdocs build in multimedia rich resources, opportunities for individual practice, and collaborative application along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

We created our Nearpod example from one of the templates on hyperdocs.co<\/a>: Explore, Explain, Apply.<\/p>\n

We organized each of the resources and activities under one of those categories so that you, as a learner, could work through the activity of learning Nearpod under a scheme that we feel simplifies the overarching learning arc.<\/p>\n

You got it, chief.<\/p>\n
