HperDocs are powerful learning-centered digital frameworks that shift the focus of learning from the teachers to the students. The best HyperDocs connect content to the essential skills of collaboration, communication, critical thinking and creativity. HyperDocs are the perfect integration in a remote or blending learning environment, as they provide multi-day packaged lessons that students can access independently by integrating with the tools of our WHS Digital Toolbox.

Work on your own or connect with 2 to 3 additional learners to create a HyperDoc. The best HyperDocs enhance student-centered learning connected to classroom content, the ISTE Standards, and the 4Cs.
You can start a new HyperDoc with the one of these HyperDoc Templates or remix an existing HyperDoc from one of these resources:
Teachers Give Teachers Shared HyperDocs,
HyperDocs Google Drive Folder.
If you need additional inspiration getting started, Karly Moura has created a great HyperDoc Handbook Template Companion connected to the Basic HyperDoc Template.
"Design is thinking made visual." - Saul Bass
HyperDoc Visual Enhancement Recommended Resources
The Noun Project - Quickly find the icon you want, change its color & size, then insert it right into your Google Slides and Docs.
Meme Generators - There are many incredible Meme Generators, but the challenge is finding one that is both appropriate and not blocked by your school's web filter. One of my current favorites is Imgflip.
Unsplash Add-ons - Insert free, HD photos from Unsplash easily in any slides presentation.
Bitmoji - Create an expressive cartoon avatar, choose from a growing library of moods and stickers.
Slide Carnival - Find free Google Slides themes and focus on communicating your ideas in your HyperDocs.
Adobe Spark Posts - A free online and mobile graphic design app. Easily create beautiful images for your HyperDocs.
ColorPick Eyedropper - An eye-dropper & color-picker tool that allows you to select color values from webpages.
Tips to Get Started Building a HyperDoc:
HyperDocs do not need to be Google Docs. They can be Google Slides, Google Sites, Google Drawings, Infographics . . . . (If you dream it, you can build it.)
The HyperDocs Website has some great free templates to help.
HyperDocs must be more than a digital worksheet or webquest. Active student engagement is essential.
Be sure to include student voice and choice when and where you can. The digital world is full of incredible student voice resources like Padlet and Flipgrid.
The best HyperDocs often include activities that are connected to the 4Cs of learning: Collaboration, Communication, Critical thinking, and creativity.
HyperDocs should connect content objectives to the skills sets included in the ISTE Standards For Students.
Non-digital student collaboration and communication should be integrated into the HyperDoc process to avoid having students turn into screen zombies
The best HyperDocs leave room for student creativity and choice. If you get 30 copies of the same thing, your students are only following a recipe.
