Professional Development - How to Hyperdoc

'How to Hyperdoc' Session Resources

My Hyperslide Journey

The first part of the session was a quick run through of my journey through using hyperdocs and what I had learned during that time.

How to Hyperslide

This set of slides was shared with participants at the beginning of the session and was the body of the session. Designed as an example of hyperslides that I use, and to give participants a student's perspective on this tool.

In Term 3 of 2020 I was asked to lead professional development on using hyperdocs / hyperslides including tips and tricks. A good number of teachers signed up for the first week, so many so, that I was asked to run the session again the following week.

Basic HyperDoc Lesson Plan Template

This hyperdoc template was printed in A5 and was part of the session. The slides that participants used during the session were formatted in this style.

"Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much." - Helen Keller

This year in particular has required a significant amount of digital communication. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown required effective, clear and accurate communication. As there was so much that was unknown, communicating expectations was vital in reducing as much uncertainty as possible. This was achieved through

This standard has been made very easy by my colleagues at the College. It is has been easy to have constructive and positive relationships with many different staff, both teaching and support.

As a person who likes direct and clear communication myself, I strive to achieve this with my own communications. Additionally, there are some communication can be felt as unnecessary, I endeavour to do so only when formal communication is required.
