One day my colleague, After brainstorming a few ideas we decided that creating Ashley Sansoe an amazing and innovative teacher, asked me to come into her class to brainstorm ways to work digital math lessons into her combo class. She wanted one grade level to be doing something productive and meaningful on their Chromebooks while the other grade level was working with her.
HyperDocs in Google Forms would give us the most bang for our buck. (Shout-out to Claire Tsougarakis for bringing this idea up in one of our EdCamps and planting the seed for how powerful forms are for HyperDocs!)

Creating You could use this same format for an eLearning lesson plan with a deeper dive. Check out Below is an example HyperDocs in Google Forms allows us to integrate the powerful lesson design of HyperDocs into one manageable place. The value of using a Google Form for these short one-day lessons is that it allows the teacher to see all of the work in one place (on a spreadsheet). With the ease of the integrated self-grading quiz feature students were provided instant feedback on the questions and can then go back to review, reflect and then retake the quiz!
These lessons assume that the content has been taught in class and this is an extension of the lesson. This lesson could easily be used to flip your class and provide you with a preview of what your class already knows coming into the lesson.
50 elearning activities, templates and tutorials for more ideas.
HyperDoc created with Google Forms for 3rd graders.

We wanted to incorporate the lesson design that makes HyperDocs so effective in our form so we included sections that we hope do that. Here is how we designed our HyperDocs and have included a template for you to copy and use to get started. Of course, as with any template, use what you want and change it to make it your own!

Review/Reteach

After the Recording your own video is a great way to bring the classroom to your students at home. One of the easiest ways to do this is with Name short answer question (which we highly recommend making required) we embedded videos that reteach and/or reinforce the lesson. Check out 30 Great YouTube Channels for Teachers for inspiration or record and upload your own! Screencastify. A very simple chrome extension that allows you to easily record, edit, and share videos by directly uploading to YouTube, sharing through Google Classroom or by downloading to your computer. Check out 24 ways to create great classroom video with Screencastify for more information and ideas.

Show What You Know!

This section offers students an opportunity to apply their knowledge in a standardized test format. You can create multiple-choice, checkboxes and multiple answer questions with the embedded quiz feature that will automatically give students a grade after they submit. They can view their score then review, reflect and retake their quiz. A few tips Ashley and I learned along the way are below =)

*Make these questions required and the others (except name) not required so that students can go back and easily retake this section of the assessment without needing to retype in their longer answers or resubmit links to activities.

*Be sure the box for "Limit to 1 response" is unchecked so that they can take their quiz multiple times. You can also collect email addresses (just in case someone decides to put a funny name instead of their real one ;) and restrict responses to your G Suite domain users.

*Finally, uncheck the box that allows respondents to see "correct answers" under quiz settings so that students don't get the answer key when viewing their score!

Share Your Thinking

This one question section asks students to explain how they arrived at their answer. In math, this could be describing what method they used to solve the problem. In reading it could be justifying their answer with text evidence. One question that really goes deep and gives them the experience of explaining their thinking through typing on the computer.

Apply Your Skills

Here you can add some sort of activity where the students are creating or manipulating something in order to show what they know. It could be an activity like in a Google Drawing or a quick creation of a Google slide that utilizes images to capture their thinking. Once finished students will click the share button then "get shareable link" to copy the URL to their creation. They will paste the link into the form and once submitted the teacher will have all of the links to the students' work on the spreadsheet in one place.

Connect and Extend

Although not a part of the actual form, we include a link to a game or activity that reinforces the skill in a fun way under the form in Google classroom. ABCya! has some great ones to check out.

Information for the teacher. What do you see?

When you click on responses in "edit" mode of your form you will see a summary of your whole class (or at least of those who submitted the form). If students took the quiz more than once you will see all of their results in this summary so take that into consideration when viewing the data. The information you get from the summary can give you valuable insight into what holes you may have as a class and inform your whole group instruction.

You can view your student's' individual results either by clicking on "Individual" in the summary of the responses or you can create a spreadsheet. On a spreadsheet, you can view their "quiz" section answers and by sorting by name you can see how many times the took the quiz to get their desired score. All of their long answer questions are in one column and the links to their drawings are in another. You can give students feedback on their work through private comments in Google Classroom or on their "Apply" activity such as a Google Drawing. Verbal, face to face, feedback works too!

Ready to Get Started?

Ready to create your own HyperDoc in Google Forms? Make a copy of this template or go to forms.google.com and select "Blank Quiz" to get started! You can assign your form through Google Classroom or create the link and share it with students directly or through your LMS.

Want to share your lesson with others?

Once you are finished you can share your form by creating a forced copy link so that others can use it too.

To create a link that will make a forced copy follow the steps below: (thanks Sean Fahey for showing me how to do this!

Click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner and go to "add collaborators"

Then change the sharing settings to "Anyone with link can edit"

Finally, change the end of the URL from "edit" to "copy"

Room 7 - Engaging Students in Virtual/Blended Environments 

# data[].attributes.body
As soon as 20-21 classes are formed, jump into building relationships.
Potential PK-K face mask discussion in a positive light!
Instead of open house, convert family connect time to highlight online learning tools and possible pivot points of school based on closures.
"Parent Academy" sessions to introduce technology and software.
Potentially focusing the first two weeks with in-person on technology connections in case there is an at-home pivot.

Buses as hot spots.

SEL - idea of allowing students to stay with the same classes multi-years to build connections, which will also help the educators.
Continued petitioning to NOT have state testing in 20-21.
Truant support to knock on doors when students are not engaged online.

Friday collaborative conversations - a topic a week with educators and district level leadership + Focus Groups chosen by School Board that are reviewing information for feedback (educators, students, parents, public leaders, health professional, state legislator)

Discussion of virtual learning that will take place at a school location. (educators and students)
Teachers being required to teach from home campuses, at least currently.
Idea of nature-based learning to increase engagement and retention + safety. Maybe marking off spaces that can be "checked out" for use like computer lab time.
First school experience for PK students, may make things easier with the transitions.
Need to focus on family engagement and flexibility throughout the year for the unknown.

Australia School Return Reflections:
Tuesday or Thursday Thankfulness Focus

How to teach without devices? Hybrid teaching in fall.
Dispite chromebook purchases, families weren't logging on, all kinds of barriers
1to1 organization prior to school start tough
Struggles of families are eye-opening
Teachers are NOT trained tech support workers
Insurance for chromebook, who covers it: school or parent?
Chromebooks have  GPS trackers
How to build relationships with young students virtually and during limited in-person time?
For STEM hands-on instruction check out https://www.scientificadventures.org/science-at-home
Parents took picture of daily assignments and send the to teacher, some did their kids work, some kids were complacent and didn't show up for class.
Grading was problematic for these reasons

Seesaw was chosen as a the main virtual portal for everything for littles
Meeting in small groups very effective. Think Pair Share works then
PBS learning media, free resource. great resource for teachers, can make a class for yourself.
SEL activities..
We would do games during our Zoom mtgs. Scavenger hunts, brain breaks,

Code.org and scratch Jr. great coding apps.

Learning new apps can be overwhelming

NM - hybrid plan for fall
1/2 class there M,T
cleaning day on W
1/2 class TH,F

UT - private school
go back, but if someone tests positive, the whole grade level  will go home for 2 weeks.  Routine for the fall - Morning meeting; time for assignment/work; small groups in afternoons; also clubs and special areas

NJ - whole school back; chrome books had hot spots in them

TX - opening full on; if one person in building tests positive; the whole building will go out for 14 days

NY - hasn't been decided yet

Successful RL platform:
Google Classroom

One school is going to a Google Sites instead of GC

Two schools picked up packet and got a new one.

What it looked like for us:
*Mystery Science - online science lesson with kids
*Friday check in
*Google meet everyday - sometimes 2 1/2 hours
*Morning meeting 3-5 times a week
*Small groups 1-4 Ss meetings
*Meet individually with Ss on Friday

Things to do online - directed drawings; Kahoot

what we should teach when we go back - procedures to use GC
