Are those even words?

HyperDocs are lessons built into a document which give ownership of learning to students by connecting them with meaningful content.

MMTS, or Multimedia Text Sets, are documents that lead students to additional information or provide choice within a lesson. Students typically do not need their own copy.

Choice Boards give students options and opportunities to guide their own learning. Again, they typically do not need a copy.

HyperDocs

& MMTS

(Multimedia Text Sets)

HyperDocs

• HyperDocs, a transformative, interactive Google Doc (or presentation) replaces the worksheet method of delivering instruction, and is the ultimate change agent in the blended learning classroom.

​

​

​

Elements of HyperDocs

• Engage
• Explore
• Explain
• Apply
• Share
• Reflect
• Extend

​

From the website: A true HyperDoc is much more than some links on a document.

• Creators deliberately choose web tools to give students opportunities to Engage • Explore • Explain • Apply • Share • Reflect • Extend the learning.
• Digital collaboration is choreographed to give every student a voice and a chance to be heard by their classmates.
• Critical thinking and problem-solving skills can be developed through linked tasks.
• Students have an opportunity to create authentic digital artifacts to show what they know and connect with a wider audience.
