Move over Webquest; enter Hyperdocs. Similar to Webquests, the Hyperdocs model transitions lessons from a teacher-directed model to student-centered learning. A Hyperdoc is a digital document (Google Docs, Slides, or Drawing) where all components of the learning are creatively presented within one single document. Students are provided hyperlinks to all resources and learning activities they need for the lesson. The digital nature of Hyperdocs allows all kinds of multimedia to be included and the opportunity to provide students with choices to help them personalize their learning. No need to start from scratch. We will show you where to find Hyperdocs templates and complete lessons that can be easily modified.
