What exactly IS a Hyperdoc, you ask?
Well...THIS is a HyperDoc!
A HyperDoc is an interactive Google Doc or Slide Deck that replaces traditional “teacher in the front, worksheet on desk” learning and puts it in the hands of YOU, the student!

Add your own idea and then read your classmates’ responses as well. You can vote for ones you really like!
