10 Reasons Why HyperDocs Are So Great!



I was talking with a colleague recently when the topic of ways to engage students in the classroom came up.  I brought up the use of HyperDocs in the classroom.  My colleague looked at me a bit puzzled and asked, "what makes a HyperDoc so great?"  


Let me share what I told them about what makes HyperDocs so great...

1. A HyperDoc is an interactive opportunity for students to transform their learning into something more.

2. One HyperDoc can address the 4 C's of 21st-century learning, giving students the opportunity for critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration.

3. They're engaging digital lessons.

4. They can allow for differentiation in that students can be given different versions of a HyperDoc or through the tasks in the hyperdoc itself. 

5. Can be personalized and allow for the use of multiple resources and the inclusion of different media.

6. Allows the teacher to flip the classroom.

7. The teacher can design various design templates for their hyperdoc.

8. Allow teachers to float around the classroom, working with small groups.

9. Through the HyperDoc, students can apply what they've learned in the HyperDoc to real-world issues.

10. Great for the blended learning classroom in that learn not only via face to face teaching but through the use of online media as well.
