Supporting Students During COVID-19 Resources for Remote Learning

As we begin to mobilize solutions and confront challenges together, the significance of our connections with one another—as individuals, families, and communities—becomes ever more clear.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Listen to my interview with Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis, authors of The HyperDoc Handbook ( transcript):

In many classrooms, a learning cycle looks something like this: First, we write plans for a series of lessons and a final assessment. We gather materials-handouts, websites, rubrics, video clips. Then we teach the lessons one at a time, to the whole class, at the same pace, distributing materials as needed. Finally, we end with a project, test, or other assessment.

It's a very teacher-directed model, which can limit learning in a number of ways:

Students don't feel much ownership for their own learning. Instead, they depend on the teacher to tell them when and how to learn the material.

Because so much of the teacher's time is spent in direct instruction, there's little opportunity to work one-on-one with students.

Because it's up to the teacher to adjust instruction for students with varied needs and levels of readiness, differentiation becomes one more thing to do.

ENTER THE HYPERDOC

A HyperDoc is a digital document-such as a Google Doc-where all components of a learning cycle have been pulled together into one central hub. Within a single document, students are provided with hyperlinks to all of the resources they need to complete that learning cycle. Here's an example.

In the above HyperDoc, all of the bolded words are linked to outside resources. The right-hand column is set aside for students to take notes and do other kinds of thinking and planning as they work through the lesson.

One of the earliest iterations of the this type of "hub" was the WebQuest, which guided students through a lesson using all online resources. Now that Google tools like Docs and Slides have become so prevalent, teachers are using these tools to create similar lessons, choosing and mixing resources that go well beyond simple web pages. Last year, we looked at something called a playlist, which teacher Tracy Enos used to organize her language arts lessons and differentiate instruction for her students.

This post contains Amazon Affiliate links; if you purchase from Amazon after going through these links, Cult of Pedagogy receives a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Meanwhile, teachers Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis were doing similar work in their own classrooms. They coined the term "HyperDoc" to describe their version of this, and in 2016, they published The HyperDoc Handbook to teach others their method for creating these lessons.

The book explains how HyperDocs work, why they have such an impact on instruction, and their model for how teachers can design HyperDocs for high-quality instruction. In the podcast episode above, I interviewed all three about their work. Here I will blend their expertise with some of my own thoughts about this exciting format.

BENEFITS OF HYPERDOCS

Fewer lectures. Teachers have been told for decades that we need to do less lecturing, to step away from being the sage on the stage and become more of a guide on the side. "I feel so bad for teachers when they hear that," Highfill says, "because they're like, 'Well, what am I supposed to do? I need to get information into their heads.'" A HyperDoc offers a solution by taking care of the direct instruction part of a lesson and offering a lot more as well.

More face-to-face interaction. A good HyperDoc runs itself, allowing students to work through it without needing you to guide them through each step. "Although it seems odd that you're putting a student in front of a device," Landis notes, "really what it's doing is freeing you up to move around and have increased face time with the students."

Flexibility. If one part of your lesson isn't working, you can just change it in the HyperDoc and the change takes effect immediately; no need to re-copy all your materials. Similarly, if each student gets their own copy of a HyperDoc, the elements can be changed on each to meet individual students' needs.

Multimodal opportunities. Because it is digital, a HyperDoc allows us to include all kinds of multimedia. "Living in this digital age, we're able to expose kids to different types of media that allows each child to access the learning or the content or the information in a way that's visually or auditorily appealing to them," Landis says. "I might be visual, and I might first study an image, then watch a video, and then I'm finally ready to tackle that article my teacher really wants me to read."

They don't know that maybe their text ... is at a different reading level," says Hilton. "Or they're able to use Privacy. If students' HyperDocs have been customized for them, no one else needs to know. "Read&Write for Google and just put headphones in, and that's just a little agreement between you and that student."

MODELS FOR BUILDING HYPERDOCS

Because HyperDocs are such adaptable tools, teachers structure them in many different ways, and you should experiment until you find a structure that works for you. Here are some options to consider:

Playlist: This model, explained in this article, follows a step-by-step sequence of activities that consist of learning activities as well as check-ins with the teacher and housekeeping tasks like setting up accounts on websites.

Self-Paced Learning: Explored in this post by math teacher Natalie McCutchen, this system lays out a path of lessons for a whole unit, along with links to review materials, pre-tests, and practice questions. Students decide how much practice they need and determine when to take the assessment for each learning goal. If they grasp the material quickly, they can test and move on.

5E Model: This first stage of this model is to Engage student interest. Next, students Explore the topic, Explain what they have learned, and Extend their learning by applying it in new situations. The last stage Evaluates student learning.

HyperDoc Model: The HyperDoc Handbook authors have developed a model that has some components of the 5Es above, but with some additions and adjustments. This template explains all 7 stages. One important component of this model is the first step, Explore. Highfill explains the value of this stage: "Kids are exploring and coming up with ideas and answers about a concept on their own, and it's engaging them from the beginning, instead of passively listening to a teacher explain something." During this time, while students explore, the teacher is actively gathering information: "I listen to my students," Highfill says, "I'm studying them and hearing to what level are they understanding a concept. I have the ability to pull a small group. I can work with my language learners during that time. The whole time I'm doing formative assessment in the classroom, which will then really be my basis for the next part of the lesson."

Agenda: This model, borrowed from the kind of planning done at a typical Montessori school, provides each student with a planner listing out their assignments for the week. Students decide how they want to use their class time each day, but are expected to complete all goals by the end of the week. Although these are traditionally done on paper, they could easily be converted to a HyperDoc format.

OTHER USES FOR HYPERDOCS

Building an extended lesson or unit is one of the most instructionally robust ways to use HyperDocs, but they can also be used for:

substitute teacher plans

video or podcast playlists

learning centers or stations

student-made HyperDocs

parent resources

departmental-, team-or grade-level HyperDocs to gather and share resources among teachers

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Start with a template.
Rather than build your first HyperDoc from scratch, you might find more success by starting with a pre-made template, like the ones available for free on HyperDocs.co. You could also start with a completely finished HyperDoc that someone else created for their own classroom and modify it for your own use.

Build in participation, collaboration, and multimedia.
One risk inherent in HyperDocs is that they could simply become online worksheets, replicating the kind of work students could just as easily do on paper. Take advantage of this medium by including ways for students to participate actively, collaborate with others, and learn from a variety of media: video, interactive posters like ThingLinks, podcasts, online flashcards, and so on.

Offer choice...
HyperDocs are designed to allow students to work at different speeds and navigate learning in a way that works best for them. So when you can, offer choices: Give students options for the kind and quantity of materials they need to learn the material, how they will practice and apply it, and how they will demonstrate their learning.

...but don't "kitchen sink" it.
If you stuff your HyperDoc with every possible resource on a topic ("everything but the kitchen sink"), you'll overwhelm students. Choose resources thoughtfully.

Give students HyperDocs training.
Even if your students have used HyperDocs in other classes, your design probably has its own unique qualities, so take the time to demonstrate how it should be used. And within the HyperDoc itself, provide clear directions for its use.

So if you create a HyperDoc," says Hilton, "in the header or footer, say Collaborate with other teachers.
You do not need to do this alone! Thousands of teachers are sharing and collaborating on the HyperDocs.co site and using the #hyperdocs hashtag on Twitter. And be sure to give credit to the person who created the original: " Created by, and maybe link to your Twitter handle or your email, for yourself, and then if you make a copy of someone's, we encourage you to give that person credit by saying Inspired by or Remixed HyperDoc originally created by, just because we want an inclusive, appreciative sharing community."

Don't feel like you have to create a HyperDoc for every lesson.
"That's not something that any teacher should feel pressured to do," says Landis, "and it's not really realistic. We don't want teachers doing any one thing all the time, because then it becomes redundant for our kids."

Note from VQ Volunteer Strategies: For four days straight, I have drafted this blog - yet, with each day's news, I've rewritten it to cover the latest developments. The reality is this: This is a swiftly changing situation and recommendations can quickly become obsolete. Nevertheless, we would like to share resources and considerations that are valid today and recommend that everyone continue to seek up to date information and share our collective expertise to work together to respond proactively and responsibly. With that in mind, here are our thoughts as of Thursday morning, March 12, 2020.

With the spread of COVID-19 across the world including North America (where most of our readers live and work), the recent declaration by the World Health Organization that the outbreak is a world pandemic, and mass cancellations and restrictions sweeping the globe, your organization is likely already experiencing disruptions to your normal way of doing business and will, undoubtedly, experience far more in the weeks to come.

For some organizations, this may mean a drop in services, events, or attendance (e.g., museums or theaters or sports organizations may have fewer or smaller programs), while many - especially in the human services arena - will likely see an increased demand for services (e.g., senior companion services, food pantries, and government agencies). Regardless, the volunteers who are already engaged with your organization remain a vital resource as you navigate these unusual circumstances and, as such, deserve some thoughtful strategizing around how to leverage their skills while also protecting them physically, mentally, and emotionally.

We would like to offer these considerations, provide resources to explore, and invite you to weigh in and share your best practices with each other as well. This list is not exhaustive but rather is designed the move our conversations forward.

Prioritize the health and safety of your organization's staff, volunteers, constituents, and community. Set up additional washing stations, encourage social distancing, and set up systems for staff - and volunteers - to work remotely where possible to reduce the spread of disease. Visit the CDC for tips on how to prevent the spread of the virus. Additional information designed specifically for faith-based organizations is also available. Be sure to connect with your state and local public health agencies.

Communicate strategically with volunteers. Communicate with volunteers to keep them up to date, ensure they understand their options, and allay any rumors, while also providing guidance for their safety and that of others. The Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration has shared tips for communications plus more.

Determine which volunteer positions are crucial to your current state of operations and be prepared to either pare back to only those necessary in order to allow volunteers to stay home to help slow the spread of the virus or support volunteers in working remotely wherever possible in the same ways that staff are increasingly being encouraged to work remotely. You can extend your existing remote work policies to volunteers - or develop an all-encompassing policy now. Consider leveraging technology to facilitate remote work for both staff and volunteers.

Adjust volunteer and staff trainings by postponing trainings or leveraging online and other virtual training options. Offering opportunities for online convenings is not only a great way to keep volunteers' skills up, even if they take a hiatus from active volunteering to protect themselves and others, but it is also a way to connect and engage volunteers which can be vital to overcoming the potential isolation of "social distancing." Remember, moving a planned curriculum from in-person to online is not always a simple transition. Teaching online is inherently different from face-to-face. VQ Volunteer Strategies will share more on this topic in weeks to come. For now, here are some helpful resources:

While this resource from The Chronicle of Higher Education is geared primarily for college professors who are now required to move to online teaching, it includes many useful links to resources about technologies and more. (If the link doesn't work, paste this directly into your browser: https://www.chronicle.com/article/Preparing-for-Emergency-Online/248230?cid=wcontentlist_hp_latest)

Remember that not all volunteers have access to internet so be sure to consider your online expectations in light of your organization's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals as well. This document, designed for transitioning a class on theater to online teaching does include some helpful questions to ask of volunteers to assess their access to online resources (e.g., Do you have a computer/tablet at home? Do you have access to Wi-Fi? Do you have a quiet room where you can work? Do you have daily access to a webcam or microphone? Are you familiar with group chats/lecture services like Zoom or Echo? Read the document for more.)

Ensure that Volunteer Engagement is part of your organization's overall response plan and Continuity of Operations Plans now and in the future. Here are some general tips for all nonprofits with additional resources from the Chronicle of Philanthropy (If the link doesn't open, paste this directly into your browser: https://www.philanthropy.com/article/Responding-to-the-Coronavirus/248231).

What other ideas and approaches are you adopting? Share them with us and with each other via social media. Together, we will carve a path through these uncharted waters and we will need the skills and strengths of the volunteer community to do so.

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page that highlights LFJ articles and content to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

"No matter what the universe has in store, it cannot take away from the fact that you were born. You'll have some joy and some pain, and all the other experiences that make up what it's like to be a tiny part of a grand cosmos. No matter what happens next, you were here. And even when any record of our individual lives is lost to the ages, that won't detract from the fact that we were. We lived. We were part of the enormity. All the great and terrible parts of being alive, the shocking sublime beauty and heartbreak, the monotony, the interior thoughts, the shared pain and pleasure. It really happened. All of it. On this little world that orbits a yellow star out in the great vastness. And that alone is cause for celebration."

"Nature is full of patterns and we humans love finding them, creating them, repeating them. This is the core of language, math, music, and even ritual, which is the repetition of words or actions deemed worthy of representing something bigger than ourselves. My view is that all over the world and across time, these are all a form of art, an elaborate performance or a secret poem, all vital in their ability to help us face the nature of time and change, life and death, and everything else we cannot control."

Whether you're organizing the number of attendees for regular business meetings or coordinating a work event for your entire company, you can easily manage it online all in one place. Doodle has been helping people make polls and schedule meetings since 2007 and is proud to continue offering this service to its more than 30 million monthly users. It only takes just four quick steps to make a poll and easily manage events and details.
Create a Doodle poll
Below you'll find instructions on how to make your own poll on Doodle. It's free to create polls, but there are numerous advantages to creating an account as well as going for a Premium plan. For starters, Premium accounts are ad-free for you and your participants and we keep all your polls in a handy dashboard. Read on for a comprehensive look at this great online scheduling tool.

How to make a poll online - in minutes!

Go to the homepage doodle.com to get started. You'll also see a large button on the top of the page that says "Create a Doodle". Click here to begin creating your poll (Yes, it really is that easy!). Gather opinions about anything or find the best time to meet in minutes.

Step 1 of 4

First, start your Doodle poll by choosing 'create a Doodle' at the top of the page. For this example, we'll use 'Revision meeting.' Of course, you can schedule any kind of meeting with Doodle! The location of the meeting is our office in Berlin.

Step 2 of 4

If you're scheduling an event or making a registration list, then click on the days that you are available to meet in the calendar (see the screenshot depiction below). For the meeting in February, we'll be sure to add several time options so that our participants can make sure they can find the best time. You have two options for choosing times for your meeting. You can choose times from the week view, where you can view the week alongside your connected calendar (another great feature of Doodle). Or you can choose the times from the month view if you'd like a wider perspective. If you'd rather not schedule an event on a specific date, but instead gather a list of suggestions, things to bring to an event, or other general categories, click on the "text" option.

Step 3 of 4

If you'd like to add some additional features to your poll, you can do so during step 3. Choose yes, no, if-need-be, limited options, or make the Doodle poll hidden for example. Here you can also see several Premium Doodle options such as poll deadlines and additional information requests.

Step 4 of 4

All you need to do now is finalize the poll and send your invitations. You can send the link to your poll using your own email application, or you can have Doodle send out the invitations for you. If you've connected your address book you can add participants automatically, or you can simply type email addresses in the box. Your participants can then choose from the options you've added and in minutes you've found the best time to meet for your meeting! Or you've collected the most popular opinion on anything with just a few clicks.

It's never been easier and faster to make your own poll. Doodle also allows you to sync your calendar with a Doodle account so that you can keep all your appointments managed at a glance in an online planner. Doodle is so easy to use - and free! - that those wanting to make polls and surveys keep coming back.
