b. Students practice and demonstrate the ability to evaluate resources for accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance.
c. Students locate and collect resources from a variety of sources and organize assets into collections for a wide range of projects and purposes.

I believe I met this standard of being a Knowledge Constructor because I had to carefully pick and choose what videos, articles, resources, etc. to include in my HyperDoc, as well as what order I wanted them to be in as students went through their doc. I had to choose relevant information pertinent to the verbals unit and collected resources from a variety of sources for several different reasons, whether I wanted students to have a quick refresher on verbals (video), whether I wanted them to read more in-depth about verbals (articles), whether I wanted them to have fun and engage with verbals (jeopardy), etc.
The purpose of this assignment was for students to complete the HyperDoc while I was gone for the teacher job fair. It provided instructional videos and examples to review what we learned the day before, which was verbals. The assignment was meant to help students review without me needing to be there and give them a little more support through videos, exercises, and articles that go more in-depth than I could.
I was honestly pretty proud of my HyperDoc. My CT thought it was a great idea. We had students work on it for their bellwork, though I’m assuming because it was assigned as bellwork, students didn’t do each part of the HyperDoc due to the limited time they had to complete it before moving on to the next activity. I will say that adding in that last section (i.e., the little questionnaire) for the students really helped me in terms of what students needed from me in order to be more successful. I’m glad I added this part because it gives each student a chance to voice what they need from me and where exactly they’re struggling. If I were to redo this assignment, I might change the order of some of the activities and not save the articles for last, but rather maybe before the video at the start of the HyperDoc.
