Future Ready Classrooms with the 4Cs Hyperdoc

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Today I want to share some resources we've curated to support the 4 Cs. We've also organized a free document that could be used to engage staff in some self-paced professional development opportunities connected to each of the 4 Cs.

1. Collaboration Resources - Students need the opportunity to work with their peers in both the physical and digital workspace. A classroom full of students with headphones on in front of their screens is a dull place no matter how engaging the activity might be. Students also need to learn that collaboration is more than divide and conquer.

2. Communication Resources - Personal and digital communication are essential skills that we must develop in a learner-centered classroom. It is also crucial for students to learn how to communicate as "digital citizens".

3. Critical Thinking Resources - If the students can "Google" the answer to a question, do I really need to be asking it? Students need to develop the skill to solve problems independently. They also need to learn how to critically explore digital text, images, videos, and more. Future-ready learners need to discover and explore new questions, not just search for answers.

4. Creativity Resources - Creating should be part of the learning process, not just a product at the end of the learning experience. Creativity in a 1 to 1 classroom is not just about creating artistic works. The best creative activities use digital tools to help students create as they learn.

Want to learn more or design a professional development experience connected to the 4 Cs?

" Design is thinking made visual." - Saul Bass

If you are not new to my blog, you know that I am a big fan of I am working on updating our
HyperDocs.
In my classroom, HyperDocs are Powerful Frameworks for Student-Centered Exploration. I do my best to build HyperDoc activities that get students engaged in the 4 Cs of collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity. I also love the power of Hyperdocs to support student voice and choice.
HyperDocs Mission Control Document and I am interested in resources that enhance the visual appeal of a HyperDocs. The templates on the HyperDoc Resources Page are a great place to start and I am exploring additional tools that can be used to enhance the visual appeal beyond Google Image Search and the Explore Tool in Docs/Slides.

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. Meredith Akers has created a Google Drawing Meme Generator. I've also created some blank Slides and Drawings Templates for meme creation in this folder.

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. We've also created a list of Avatar Creation Resources.

Slide Carnival - Find free Google Slides themes and focuses 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 web pages.

A quick search in Add-ons can connect you to additional font generators like Magic Rainbow Unicorns.

What other resources can you recommend to enhance the visual appeal of a HyperDoc?

Differentiate with Learning Menus and Choice Boards

"...at its core, differentiated instruction means addressing ways in which students vary as learners." - Carol Ann Tomlinson

[Tweet "Interactive Learning Menus with @GoogleforEdu #edtech#gsuiteedu"]

What Are Learning Menus?

IT'S ALL ABOUT CHOICE! Learning menus (aka choice boards) are a form of differentiated learning that gives students a menu or choice of learning activities. Learning menus and choice boards can be created in a variety of styles and mediums. They've been around for a long time and originated in a static, paper format. But with digital tools, we can bring the menus to life with interactivity and creation. Menus can be a simple list, a tic-tac-toe or bingo-style game, or get as creative and intricate as you like. Check out my Pinterest board for ideas.

Learning Menus Can Be Used with Any Age Group

I have found that menus and choice boards tend to be more popular among elementary teachers, but I used them in my middle school classroom, and now I use them in professional learning workshops with adults. Any grade level can use learning menus!

Learning Menus Can Be Used in Any Subject Area

Since learning menus are so flexible, they can easily be created and adapted for just about any subject area. So no excuses! Any teacher who is willing to try can make use of this student-centered strategy.

[Tweet "Any teacher who is willing to try can make use of this student-centered strategy. #edtech"]

Are Learning Menus Hyperdocs the Same Thing?

No, but they could be part of a Hyperdoc assignment. I love Hyperdocs! But these two are not one in the same. Keep in mind the definition of learning menus stated above. It is simply a menu of choices from which students can choose. Student choice is the big idea behind learning menus and choice boards.

A Hyperdoc is a complete packaged assignment that also meets some additional criteria. A Hyperdoc doesn't have to include choice, but it could. To learn more about Hyperdocs, visit their site or read the AMAZING book by Lisa Highfill, Sarah Landis, and Kelly Hilton.

Creating a Tic-Tac-Toe Learning Menu in Google Docs

One easy way to dip your toes into the learning menu water is a Tic-Tac-Toe menu. A Tic-Tac-Toe can be used for anything from short activities to more long-term projects, both assessment FOR learning (formative) and assessment OF learning (summative).

Below is an example of a Novel Unit Tic-Tac-Toe menu that I created as a summative project. It was created in Google Docs, nothing fancy, just a table and some color. Depending on how you want to use, you can add links, rubrics, images, video and more. (Click here to use my blank tic-tac-toe template.)
CLICK HERE to use the Novel Study Tic-Tac-Toe template. On mobile? CLICK HERE to make a copy.
Learning Menu Design

Remember when you are creating a learning menu to align it with your learning goals! First, I use the middle square as my non-negotiable, the one activity that I want every student to complete. This could be reading an article, watching a video, or in this case; every student will write a summary and add it to a collaborative Google Slide deck where they will also add links to their other projects. Everything in one place!

Some teachers also make the middle square a free space where students can propose their own ideas to demonstrate their learning. LOVE THIS IDEA!

I had some students who would try to find the easiest or fastest way to complete the tasks. But if you pay attention to the learning design, you can design it so that it gives choice and flexible learning paths, not just an easy completion grade.

I use the color to guide the learning design. Because I use the middle square as a non-negotiable, I control how they make the tic-tac-toe just a little bit more. Every student will do the middle square and one from the blue and one from the yellow. In this summative example, students are mostly creating, but in the example below, you will see how it can also work for activities that guide the learning.

Below is a professional learning example that I designed for teaching Google Chrome. As a trainer, I typically have very mixed groups in my training sessions (multiple grade levels, subject areas, and tech savviness). I usually address general skills, and apps and extensions that are applicable across all grade levels and subject areas as a whole group.

Then I move into an activity like the Chrome PD Tic-Tac-Toe learning menu to allow teachers to dig deeper into their own subject areas and grade levels AND move at a pace that is comfortable for their level and learning style.
CLICK HERE to use my Chrome PD Tic-Tac-Toe template. On mobile? CLICK HERE to make a copy of the template.
Other Types of Learning Menus

As I said, a tic-tac-toe is just one type of menu. It happens to be a favorite of mine because they are easy to design and are not too overwhelming. But I have used many other types of menus, and I have been curating ideas on this Learning Menu Pinterest Board.

Digital Menu for Student Creation with Google Slides by Tommy Spall

Below is a Google Slide example of a learning menu that takes on the look of a restaurant menu from my friend, Tommy Spall. Follow him @TommySpall. (You can thank me later!) Click here to make a copy of Tommy's template that includes linked slides to lots of Googley projects and room for you to make it your own. (If you are on mobile and having trouble with the template link, try this make a copy link.)

Professional Development BINGO Board by Amber Teamann and Melinda Miller

Another option is to make it a full out BINGO board, like in this example from my friend Amber Teamann and her collaborator Melinda Miller. (Follow them at @8Amber8 and @MMiller7571, and yes, you will thank me for this one, too!)

Amber and Melinda are both elementary school principals. They issued this BINGO PD Challenge to her teachers over the summer, and I thought it might inspire you with some other options for choice and challenges in your classroom or professional learning. You can learn more details about PD Bingo in Amber's blog post.

Using G Suite to Create Learning Menus

The possibilities are truly endless! Consider all the ways you could use G Suite to create learning menus and the extended activities and links. Try thinking of the ways you could create menus using these G Suite tools:

Google Docs

Google Slides

Google Drawings

Google Sheets

Google My Maps

Creative Teacher & Student Voice Resources

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you know me, you know that I love all things
HyperDoc. I share resources connected to HyperDocs whenever I have something new to share. Today, I want to focus on the incredible educators who are doing so much more with HyperDocs. The links below are connected to educators and resources that influenced my growth as a HyperDoc Learner.

Educators can start a new HyperDoc with one of a HyperDoc Template from Teachers Give Teachers. Karly Moura has created a great HyperDoc Handbook Template Companion connected to a HyperDoc Template.
Educators can also share and remix with credit an existing HyperDoc from one of these resources:

I personally love both the Teachers Give Teachers Site and the HyperDoc Google + Community the most for a couple of reasons.

1. They are searchable and organized by categories.

2. They usually contain a view link that can be remixed to the live HyperDoc and not just a copy.

HyperDocs are powerful digital activities that shift the focus of learning from the teacher to the students. The best HyperDocs support essential skills connected to collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.

HyperDoc Fundamentals

HyperDocs are powerful frameworks to support inquiry-based learning.

HyperDocs allow students to explore interactive resources at their own pace.

HyperDocs are digital frameworks that can support differentiated learning.

HyperDocs don't just present the facts. HyperDocs use questions, problems, and scenarios to help students learn, explore, and create.

HyperDocs provide options for student voice and give students choices in how to engage in the content.

HyperDocs support individual, small group, and whole class opportunities.

HyperDocs connected to Formative Assessments help students know what they know and explore what they don't know.

HyperDoc Resources
Want to learn more about using HyperDocs to support collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity in learner-centered classrooms? Take a look at the HyperDoc Mission Control document and our 4 Cs resource documents. These resources are designed to support the creation of HyperDocs connected to the 4 Cs and the ISTE Standards.

I am super excited about this year's Mock Caldecott. Last year was the first year I held a Mock Caldecott. This is not a requirement for teachers in my building. I will post covers of the books in the hallway. Teachers are encouraged to read any of the books to their class they would like. They do not have to read all of the books. I will read some of the books during library class. One management tip is to tape a list of all the classroom teachers to the back of the book. The names can then be crossed off when book has been read to a class. This helps me know which books to read in the library without emailing each teacher. Students will be allowed to vote for their favorite right before Christmas break.
Here is the Google Slide Deck: click here!
I have created a hyperdoc/slide for the books. I added Hey Black Child, but it isn't out yet. All the slides can link to a padlet, answer garden (word cloud), and flipgrid. To use this slide deck, make a copy of the deck, then create a padlet, answer garden, and flipgrid for each book. Last add the link to your copy of the slides. Some of the covers link to a book trailer. I left those links in tact. Even if you want to do some of these activities with only one book, and not the whole Mock Caldecott feel free. I may copy the slide and just have the slides I am reading to a particular class pushed out to them through google classroom or email so they have the links. Another option would be to link the whole thing, or a couple slides to your website. You could also only add some of the options and delete the others from the slide if making three choices is overwhelming. I opened several tabs and created several interactive options for one book at time, then linked the slides.

I am excited for this activity in my building. I hope you can use the slide deck as well!

Last week I shared some of the incredible resources connected to HyperDocs by incredible educators who love to share and collaborate. Teachers are sharing some awesome HyperDocs on the Teachers Give Teachers Site, Facebook, Padlet, Google +, and Google Drive.

Today I want to focus on the power of Google + Communities. Google + has become one of my favorite places to collaborate with educators around the world. With the blessing of the HyperDoc Girls, 6 months ago we created a community to support HyperDocs on Google +.

HyperDocs can be categorized by content area.

A public view link can be shared. This means that you are not just looking at a copy that could quickly become outdated. (If you want to learn more about link sharing, please visit this post.)

The shared HyperDocs are secure and can only be removed by the owner of the post or the moderators of the community.

Google + Communities are searchable. I think I heard something about Google knowing search?

Each link to a HyperDoc will include a nice visual preview of the HyperDoc.

The posts can include a description or a question. This is a great way to provide the viewer with a quick snapshot of the HyperDoc.

Viewers can comment on the posts or respond to questions. (This is my favorite feature! - Collaboration is awesome!)

Members of the community can receive notifications when a new post or response is added.

We did not create this community to compete with or replace any of the other great ways educators are sharing HyperDocs. We just wanted one more resource for educators to share and collaborate. The bottom line is that if you have something to share connected to HyperDoc find the place that works best for you, but please find that place to share!
