Once you have made a copy, start the presentation in present mode.

Some things to remember for HyperDocs created in Google Presentation:

• Links are active in present mode. (You can get to links in edit mode, but it requires you to click on the link twice.)
• You will need to leave present mode to type on slides.

Getting started!

I have left the amount of text on the slides to a minimum so you can type notes on the slides.

Intro to Hyperdocs

HyperDocs are a “mash up” of Google Docs and multimedia.

They were developed by Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis.

All of the content in this presentation is based on their ideas that they presented in their book :

Why HyperDocs?

• Student centered rather than teacher centered.
• Allow students to incorporate their interests.
• Students can interact, collaborate, and create.
• Good for all different kinds of classrooms - not just 1:1

How to design and build a HyperDoc:

• Determine your objectives

• Select your packaging
• Build the workflow
• Design your hyperdoc

Determining Your Objectives

• Grade Level
• Content Area
• Single content area or cross-curricular
• Length of Lesson
• Pre-unit
• Single lesson
• Unit

Determining Your Objectives

• Specific Objective
• Essential questions
• Teaching point
• New material or review
• Desired Outcome
• Exploring new topic
• Class discussion
• Applying knowledge to create new content
• Assessing student’s understanding

Selecting Your Learning Cycle

• You will use different models depending on your needs.
• Your choice of learning cycle will determine the design of your HyperDoc
• Explore-Explain-Apply or Explore-Flip-Apply
• Workshop model: Connect, Teach, Engage, Application, Reflection
• 5E Instructional Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate
• HyperDoc Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Apply, Share, Reflect, Extend

Select Your Packaging

• Google Docs
• Make sure students understand sharing privileges
• Google Slides
• Advantage: can embed a video
• Google Forms
• Great for collecting feedback along the way.
• Can be frustrating for students if they accidentally navigate away from page
• Google Sites

​

Build the Workflow

• Share - How are students going to access the HyperDoc?
• Gmail
• Canvas
• Link
• URL Shortener

​

Build the Workflow

• Feedback - How can I provide feedback to the students?
• Comments in Docs or Slides
• Comments in Canvas
• Rubric
• Voice comments

​

Build the Workflow

• Collection - How will I collect the students’ work products?
• Students share file(s) with the teacher
• Students turn in a link to Canvas or LMS
• Teacher shares with student at the start of lesson or unit
• Turn in paper products
• Turn in a link into Google Forms
• Etc.
• Clicks - How many clicks will it take me to access the student work?

What Packaging

The HyperDoc examples that you explored on the previous slides are all Google Doc based, but they can be easily adapted to other apps. This presentation is based on the Basic HyperDoc Lesson.
