What Should Be Included in HyperDocs?

Example #1 Example #2

1. Engage: Hook your students, get them engaged, and activate prior knowledge. Think anticipatory set! Use a fun video using FlipGrid, science joke, or interactive app or website.

2. Explore: Link resources, such as videos or articles or apps, for students to explore more information on content topic.

3. Explain: Clarify the learning targets. In a traditional classroom, this is where you could teach whole group instruction. During the school closures, think of recording your lesson and embedding or linking the video.

4. Apply: What do you want students to create to demonstrate their learning? Be explicit on expectations.

5. Share: Provide a way for students to share their work and receive feedback. Google/Microsoft Forms, One Drive, Google Drive, Shared Folder, Teams, Google Classroom to name a few.

6. Reflect: Pause for reflection using virtual journals or online discussions. Provide a link them to a digital way to share their thoughts.

7. Extend: This portion is great for early finishers. Provide extra activities, additional online resources, or challenge them with an extension assignment to extend their thinking.
