#HYPERDOCK AND IBOOKS HOW TO#
Hands down, making the decision to learn about and learn how to create Hyperdoc lessons has been one of the smartest professional moves I've taken in all my years of teaching. I never feel at a loss because of the huge support, assistance, and motivation provided through the online community of educators (newbies to experts) and its many available resources! There are so many different ideas, templates, strategies, and techniques to meet you at whatever level you are at right now, as well as what to do when you are ready to take the next step. The HyperDoc Handbook takes you through, step-by-step, how to create and deliver authentic digital lessons to best fit your students' needs.


It is so wonderful to interact with and share ideas and lessons with educators from all over who share your same goals, care about students, and are nothing but 100% positive. I'm on Twitter, but this community is strong across all social media platforms. So, I purchsed The HyperDoc Handbook and joined the HyperDocs Online Bootcamp Course with the amazing HyperDoc Girls! From beginners to the most advanced, this book (and bootcamp course) is for everyone, at all levels, all subject areas, all grades! I've never seen or been part of a more supportive, helpful, and encouraging community of teachers and learners as the HyperDocs community. What does this mean? What am I supposed to do? How can I make sure I'm using it in a way that will benefit my students? With no clue where to begin, I knew I had to do something to calm my panic. When I found out that I would be getting a cart of Chromebooks for my classroom this coming school year, although excited, I was really feeling quite nervous.we have never had any type of technology for students to use in the classroom. Even after that many years in the classroom, I'm at the beginner stage when it comes to using technology to enhance my lessons. This will be my 20th year teaching Spanish and English Lit and Composition. While it seems near impossible to cover everything, I feel a renewed sense of hope after learning how to design and deliver lessons through the use of HyperDocs. Each year there seems to be more curriculum to cover, more tests to prepare for, and more requirements to meet. This book teaches you how to do just that. In our growing, expanding, and ever-changing world of technology, schools and classrooms are sometimes at a loss for how to best use the many available tools to benefit our students. The HyperDoc Handbook: Digital Lesson Design Using Google Apps by Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis should be a required read for all teachers, lesson designers, curriculum writers, and educational leaders. After reading The HyperDoc Handbook you will be connected with the HyperDoc community and inspired to create and share with other HyperDoc’ers on Twitter at search Facebook groups for “HyperDocs”, and discover lessons at.

It is a practical reference guide you will refer to again and again that strikes a perfect balance between pedagogy and how-to tips. We can’t always do things the way we’ve always done them and with this book, we encourage you to consider, “What is it that I can do now that I couldn’t do before?”The HyperDoc Handbook is a go-to for all K-12 educators looking to transform their teaching into blended learning environments. HyperDocs shift instruction by giving students the content to explore before direct instruction, and by asking students to apply their learning using the 4 C’ critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. They provide access for students to all content and learning in one organized digital space. But do your daily lessons reflect this shift in instruction? HyperDocs are digital lesson plans that are designed by teachers and given to students. Technology gives students immediate access to information, the ability to connect beyond the classroom, and a myriad of opportunities for collaboration and creativity. Great resource for distance and online learning! It’s time to think differently about lesson design.
